Tuttosport: Milan’s problems spread halfway across the world after 12 days of stalemate

AC Milan fired their management over a week ago and yet they have not managed to fill any of the vacant positions yet.

Tuttosport write that Milan remain a work in progress. The club’s top management is still empty: a CEO (the acting positions has been tkane by Massimo Calvelli), a sporting director, a technical director and a head coach are all missing.

The players in the squad don’t know who to talk to about their futures (or they’re talking to TV channels like Leao) or what kind of project will be presented to them. Ten of them will be playing at the World Cup in a week, so it isn’t a great start to the summer.

Agents have no contacts to whom they can refer their clients who are potentially interested in wearing the Milan shirt. It’s June 5th, and many could turn their attention elsewhere.

Stalemate and silence

Furthermore, the map of Milan’s future will be increasingly scattered around the world. Ralf Rangnick – the leading candidate to take over as a director – is now in California preparing for the World Cup against Austria. Mauricio Pochettino is in the USA too.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic will soon be arriving to begin his five-week work as a pundit. Ten Milan players who will be competing in the World Cup will be halfway across the world, some of them uncertain about their fate like Luka Modric, Mike Maignan, Leao, Adrien Rabiot and others.

Meanwhile, in Europe and beyond, the other players remain in this chaotic situation that has left Milan mired in a stalemate over management and the bench for the past 12 days. There have been meetins with the likes of Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola, but no concrete action.

To ensure the club remain at least mobile even in its day-to-day operations, many of the former CEO’s responsibilities have been passed to Calvelli, Cardinale’s right-hand man on the sporting front at RedBird.

For example, the executive handled Massimiliano Allegri’s termination and will remain in office until there is any news on the matter (if any). He certainly shouldn’t be involved in the sporting decisions that must come soon.

  2. Nikad, ovo je super što sljedi !!!!Dogodine borba za opstanak a možda i druga liga !! Niti malo nerealno kako su igrali 10 zadnjih kola a pola igrača što vrijedi iti malo ODLAZI !!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Cardinale: “the right decision need time. I still pondering who is the right one. If agent want to suggest their player, agents can speak to my ceo cavelli or to little boss ibra.”

  4. I’m less concerned about lack of coach at this stage.
    No technical and sporting directors in June/July is crazy.

    Who is there to plan and execute transfers?
    Ibrahimovic is the only one left and he’s going to the WC to do commentary. It’s a total joke.

    If Rangnick is appointed. He can’t start until Austrian WC ends. That could be mid July.
