Giovanni Sartori has emerged as a leading candidate to be AC Milan’s sporting director, but he has once again made his position known.
There have been several names put forward for the role of the sporting director, and Milan considered Sartori among those at the top of the list. However, they were rebutted in their chase, due to the Bologna director’s position.
Considering the positions of both clubs, though, it is not really a surprise that he wants to retain his post, rather than jumping ship. Nevertheless, he is still being linked to the role, and Giorgio Furlani has shown that he is not ready to give up on candidates after seemingly being overlooked.
Whether Furlani is still gunning for Sartori, as he is for Tony D’Amico, is unknown; however, it would not be a surprise if the club were put off for good with the director’s comments today. Speaking to Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), Sartori said this:
“I have to think only and exclusively of Bologna.”
It is probably not going to happen for him and Milan.
Given how they performed in Europe this season, why would you want him?
Everyday somebody different, the journalist really struggling, if only our defence on the pitch as good as the one off it
Saputo won’t let him leave either. He will keep him. It is a waste of time to even pursue him. We are not in a position to sway anyone away from their club when we dismissed directors one season after winning the league even when tying their hands with a miserly wage cap and transfer budget. When the person negotiating with you is the one who sunk a winning ship by stivking his nose where it didn’t belong, they can kiss the idea of attracting top directors goodbye.
This guy is perfect for our project when you look pologna squad they are almost perfect from defense to the strikes
