When starting a new job, you are often given a short period to acclimate. For Igli Tare, there will be none of that when he starts at AC Milan.
As soon as Tare walks through the door, the rebuild will begin, at least officially. As has been reported, the Albanian has been planning for a while now about what Milan will look like, and how the rebuild will go.

Of course, certain elements are unplannable; reports can only tell you so much, and his interpretations and analyses will have to take place. However, there are a few solid things, it seems. For example, the parting with Sergio Conceicao and the decision to hire a new coach, though this was in his plans anyway.
Corriere della Sera (via Pianeta Milan), this morning, write how he is enthusiastic and ‘charged’ to begin his Rossoneri mission, despite how hectic it will be.
The future of Tijjani Reijnders appears high on the list of things to sort out, and he will assess the expected proposal from Manchester City and what needs to be done financially.
Then, there is the issue of renewals and other mercato topics will be assessed, with Theo Hernandez, Yunus Musah, Samuel Chukwueze and Malick Thiaw the ‘main suspects’ to depart. Whilst Mike Maignan’s situation will also be assessed.
Most importantly, though, Tare will have to sort out the future leader of this group. Conceicao should depart, and the number one choice, Vincenzo Italiano does not want to leave Bologna.
For this reason, four are in the mix, Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte, though both are difficult ideas. Then, Thiago Motta and Roberto Mancini are arising currently.
We need a coach (NOT ALLEGRI) who can play with back 3…
This squad isn’t build for 4 man defense… bringing so many fullbacks in 1 season when you already have to address a lot of other areas is too much…
Bring Zappacosta (free, Serie A experienced, Italian quality sub) and a replacement for Theo, if he leaves… Alexis and Jimenez are solid on RM side!
you also don’t have to bring as many midfielders, we have Tiji, Fofana and Bondo and then there are RLC, Musah… which is more realistic bringing 3 new midfielders or keeping one of the latter 2 and a Ricci-like signing?!
Also, recent “stability” gives the team confidence, for morale that’s important after such a shacky season…
Your thoughts have become mediocre watching the circus at Milan..
Dream bigger friend.
why is
Leao-Gimenez-Pulisic
Tavares – Tiji – Ricci – Alexis/Jimenez
Pavlovic-Gabbia-Comuzzo
Maignan
or
Leao-Gimenez-Pulisic
Tiji-Fofana-Ricci
Pavlovic-Gabbia-Comuzzo-Jimenez
Maignan
mediocre?
Saladmaker proved at Roma how good he can be at both sides as a wing back. Since apparently he is coming back, he is another reason why a back 3 looks like the more suitable option for us. Let’s just hope the dead weight and the sacrifices bring enough funds for a decent rebuild.
