GdS: Cardinale could involve Toulouse president in planning of Milan’s future

AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale could look to utilise Toulous president Damien Comolli at the Italian club in the near future, a report claims. 

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Radio Rossonera), the Milan owner is keen to use whatever or whoever is within reach to get Milan back on top.

Toulouse are also majority-owned by RedBird Capital Group and any movement between the two clubs will be publicly viewed as further proof that Milan are firmly part of a multi-club ownership model now.

It is not clear in what role Comolli would join Milan, but he is vastly experienced in the world of football having first entered it more than 30 years ago.

He coached youth teams in Monaco before then spending eight years as a scout for Arsenal when the club won the Premier League three times. Comolli has been sporting director at Saint-Etienne, and he became Director of Football at Tottenham.

He worked at Liverpool until 2012 and was part of the team that signed Luis Suarez and Jordan Henderson, before then taking a six-year break from football.

After a spell at Fenerbahce, he became Toulouse president in 2020 as RedBird acquired the club and he is therefore someone that Cardinale admires and trusts.
