Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara are all set to leave their roles as technical and sporting directors of AC Milan, prompting a revolution.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), the decision was made and communicated yesterday by Gerry Cardinale to Maldini that both he and Massara will no longer have their services required.
Cardinale met Maldini in a hotel, and he communicated the decision not to continue together with Massara also leaving with him. Behind this very strong decision is the fact that RedBird is not satisfied with the progress of last season, and above all with the Rossoneri’s last summer window.
It is fair to say that many judged the 2022 summer window to be a failure given that only Malick Thiaw proved to be a good addition so far.
Who will take the place of Maldini and Massara? Cardinale’s plan is not to replace them with the classic figures of technical director and sporting director, but more powers will be given to the CEO Giorgio Furlani.
Geoffrey Moncada – THE current chief scout – will also have a more important role. The feeling is that Stefano Pioli will remain as head coach because he has the trust of the owners.
