Carlo Pellegatti has urged AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale to go out and hire Piero Ausilio to lead the management.
Ausilio has officially resigned from his role as sporting director of Inter, as announced by the club yesterday. The former Nerazzurri director is therefore free to join a new team, freed from all contractual obligations following the termination agreed with the Nerazzurri a few hours ago.

‘Cardinale can’t miss an opportunity like this’
What will his next professional move be? England or Saudi Arabia are being talked about, but journalist Carlo Pellegatti – on his YouTube channel – advised Milan not to miss out on an opportunity to strengthen their sporting department.
“An idea just popped into my head, and this time I can’t be turned down: Piero Ausilio must sign for AC Milan today! Gerry Cardinale can’t miss an opportunity like this,” he said (via Calciomercato.com)
“We’re talking about one of the most important managers of the last twenty years, who worked with Moratti, Marotta, Sabatini… a profile of both Italian and international standing.
“Right now, he’s practically free on the market, and Cardinale must have the foresight to hire a sporting director who – and I say this reluctantly – has brought home two Scudetti and two Champions League finals in the last four years.
“It may not have been all his doing, mind you, but together with Marotta and whoever you want, he has managed, even with an American fund behind him, to build a team with functional players every year, without needing to spend 200 million on Mbappé or Haaland, and knowing how to replace even those who left.
“Precisely what we’ve been missing. I’d really like to understand, dear Mr. Cardinale, what’s holding us back from taking on someone like that. I believe Gerry Cardinale has now understood that the current management is made up of good guys and excellent professionals, but that at crucial moments they have let things slip.
“They were unable to sell a player for 38 million when the asking price was 50-60 million, and today we find ourselves with six players who have not been placed permanently, but have all ended up on loan.
“Today, my dear friend Sandro Sabatini emphasised this very point: when you rely on an agent like Jorge Mendes, you spend money to acquire players, but you struggle to collect from sales.
“Mendes’ priority is to move money to acquire players, not to capitalise on outgoing players: that’s not his specialty. On the contrary, Piero Ausilio, having worked alongside great directors and managers, is an expert at doing this.”
Ausilio has previously spoke about how he was able to get one over on Milan by signing Hakan Calhanoglu on a free, but could he now come to help the Rossoneri? Whether he would be willing to instantly cross the divide remains to be seen.
He probably doesn’t want the grief he would catch by crossing that line.
Unless he feels that Inter completely wronged him in some way.
But it’s a good idea regardless. Worth calling him.
Sabatini, Prade, Berta, Sartori, Corvino (too old perhaps), Ausilio…
Never trust any serpent. Remember Fasso-Belli (Fassone and Mirabelli)? Those two bastards hired by that Chinese fraud, basically ruined Milan with their outrageous signings and wage offer. By the time Elliot and Gazidis came, it was impossible to either renew or sell the players. Most idiots here kept blaming Maldini, but when you look at it, there was not one of the players bought by Fasso-Belli that was sold — except Bonucci and I think it was trade off for Higuan who then went to Chelsea. Everyone else from Biglia, etc basically ran down their contracts.
It was a swap for Caldara. Andre Silva was sold (used for a deal that included Rebic) and so were Rodriguez and kalinic.
With Ausillio Milan will definitely win the Champions League and dominate Serie A. But I have a feeling that bozo Cardinale who doesn’t seem to believe in doing things the traditional way will want to bring Markus Krösche instead.
Come on, man… They can put your comment in the Meriam-Webster as example for exaggeration.
Let’s take the chill pill.
We are not just 1 director away from the CL title, nor from Serie A dominance. No club is. Real, Barcelona, PSG are probably the most likely contenders this season. Still, it’s more likely than not, neither of them will win the CL.
On average, we win our league every 6-7 years. Even in the golden eras we hardly dominated, apart from the early 90s. We had only 2 occasions with consecutive titles, one of which more than a century ago…
That’s because rube had robed us in 1972, 1973, 2005, 2006. and 2012.
2012 was the worst man.
Freaking Conte and Juve….
Was this meant for me? 🙂 Well, I can’t say much about 1972. i 1973. since I wasn’t born then yet and I all know about that are the articles,
old clippings, sites, forums and so. As for 2005. i 2006, I can surely speak about them from my own experience, saw it with my own eyes, that was horrible! 2005. was the steal of the century and 2006. wasn’t much better, we should insist on these three (or five rather) seasons and titles that were taken from us.
*all I know about that IS FROM the articles
