Markus Kroesche’s name has appeared today on AC Milan’s scouting list, and it seems the Eintracht Frankfurt director could be an ideal option for the Rossoneri.
The past few days have shown a few more cards being brought into play with the management, sporting director, and even coach situation. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was seemingly the one to bring things together, but Giorgio Furlani has effectively been promoted, and now the ball is in his court.
As a result, he has added more names to the sporting director list, and they are those of Thiago Scuro and Kroesche, but there is no knowledge of either’s position.
With this, Calciomercato.com have taken a look at the profile of the German, and identified some key assets.
With RB Leipzig, he made a number of big signings, such as: Dani Olmo, Christopher Nkunku and Angelino. However, the signings of Ademola Lookman and Lazar Samardzic – who both play for Atalanta now – also were done under his tenure. Despite both failing, they were sold on for profits, showing that he has an eye for value.
Then, with Eintracht Frankfurt, he built the Europa League winning team, spearheaded by Kolo Muani, but when the Frenchman left, the club didn’t panic as Marmoush followed – again, an eye for talent, and eventually heavy profits.
No more foreigner who doesn’t respect the Italian culture of Ac Milan
We need a chief scouter who could look inwards into having Italian integration into the team, this AC Milan is almost alien to what it used to be. Let’s look at what Inter is all about……pride of Italian football. We need Italian connection!
He performs really good at Eintracht.
Italian director, Italian coach, and a backbone of Italian players. Thats what Milan needs, find back to its identity.
Which Italian director? Which coach? Which Italian players deserve to play in Milan? Which players can Milan buy for a decent price? I’m not Italian, but I don’t mind Milan being international like Real.
You not fans acmilan. The real fans acmilan know the Identity Acmilan Is Italian director, Italian coach, and a backbone of Italian players. Thats what Milan needs,
The history of success telling that. Acmilan is uniq club. Diffrent form other club.
If you likes Acmilan being International. That you likes Acmilan destroy and go to seria B.
At the rate they’re going, I might also be an option for Milan 😂
He doesn’t know Italian football. Makes him perfect for the job, doesn’t it!?
At this rate, Red Bird had better start lobbying for the Super League.
Do these people not realise that they have to qualify for the UCL via the Serie A?
Sartori and D’Amico don’t need Milan’s budget to put together a more functional team than Milan. Hell, give Corvino enough time and he could get Lecce to compete with Milan under Red Bird.
These idiots need to get it through their thick heads that the big 3 Italian teams no longer have the money to buy players of a quality beyond the likes of Napoli, Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio, Atalanta. It is a matter of time before Bologna is added to this list. The Parma operation is about 18 months behind Bologna.
Yes, Juventus and Milan can spend more money but to what end? Juventus spent >€100m on Koopmeiners and Duglas Luiz.
Fiorentina loaned Adli from Milan and will pay about €10m for him. Adli’s form pre-injury was as good as anything either of those players have done. They’ve got Ndour who by this stage next season will be on the path to being elite and priced out of the range of Milan and Juve. They’ve committed a substantial sum to Gudmundsson. No one Juventus signed is better than these players. Yildiz should end up something approaching world class and he was in their academy (which proves the point). The world class adjacent players Milan bought were bought on the dip.
Up front you’ve got Kean who is better than the 6 options at CF who have cycled through the position for Milan and Juventus. Atalanta has Retegui. One of these Seven Sister clubs not run by idiots is going to sign Lucca for next season.
Roma signed players like Kone, Soule (who has only really struggled as a result of coaching changes) and Dovbyk. Lazio signed Tchaouna, Dia, Rovella, Guendouzi and Nuno Tavares.
At the same time Milan spends big money, relative to what it can afford, on a donkey, Giminez, who is good for scoring tap-ins and Juventus signs Nico Gonzalez. These players would struggle to play for most of the Seven Sisters.
There are 2 solutions to this problem:
1. develop your own players (something else Milan has allowed Zlatan to stuff up); and
2. have coherent project.
The financial superiority of the big 3 teams will only reassert itself again when they are running operations which are as good as those being run by the second tier sides.
In the meantime Milan is going to be acting like it has a right to a top 4 birth while the likes of Atalanta, Lazio and Fiorentina have more competitive teams.
