This season has been incredibly tough for Milan, currently sitting in 9th place after three consecutive defeats in the league. It could get even worse against Lecce tomorrow, even if Sergio Conceicao has had a good week of training, so planning for next season has already begun.
As per the Italian newspapers this morning, Cardinale and Ibrahimovic have had meetings with a few candidates in London and they will soon discuss the matter with CEO Giorgio Furlani. In short, they are taking the decision very seriously as it will mean a lot for the future of the club.
In his latest editorial for MilanNews, the well-known pundit Luca Serafini added that Cardinale and Ibrahimovic want the new sporting director to choose the next head coach. Only in that way can the link between the team and the management be established properly.
“The sporting director, in the eyes of Cardinale and Ibrahimovic, would be given permission to find the new coach and also set up the guidelines for the mercato, obviously in conjunction with the new coach,” he stated, before adding that Tare appears to be the main candidate for now.
