Di Stefano believes Cardinale’s era has fully begun: “A crown on Ibrahimovic’s head”

Gerry Cardinale has big plans for AC Milan and he made that clear in a recent interview, accompanied by his RedBird Operating Partner and Rossoneri advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic. As Peppe Di Stefano highlights, his era has now properly begun. 

It was at the ‘Business of Football Summit’ that Cardoinaed outlined his plans for Milan, stating that fundamental changes must be made on all fronts. Ibrahimovic is just one piece of the puzzle, acting as a proxy for the American in Milano, and his opinions will matter a lot.

As highlighted by Peppe Di Stefano on Sky Italia last night, as cited by MilanNews, Cardinale’s era has now fully commenced and the upcoming summer will be essential. Ibrahimovic’s opinion will also be decisive on all things Milan, with ‘a crown on his head’.

“For me, yesterday [Thursday] is day zero of Cardinale’s era, perhaps his era has begun definitively. He put a crown on Ibrahimovic’s head, they were strong words. When he talks about revolution, he means it on all fronts from what I understand,” he stated.

Stefano Pioli’s exit seems more and more certain, especially given Milan’s consistency struggles on the pouch, and a big sale in the summer cannot be excluded either. If the latter does happen, though, then investments will be made to strengthen the squad  (like the 2023 summer).
