Tuttosport: Why Milan favour Tare over D’Amico in sporting director pursuit – the latest

As talks with Fabio Paratici fell through, AC Milan are still looking for a sporting director. Igli Tare is currently the favourite for the job, according to a report, as he has an advantage compared to Tony D’Amico. 

Paratici appeared more or less certain to become the new sporting director of Milan. However, talks broke down when an agreement couldn’t be found on certain exit clauses, which would have allowed the Rossoneri to opt for someone else in the event of criminal charges for the former Juve man.

As highlighted by Tuttosport this morning (via MilanNews), the search is thus continuing for a new director. There are two names at the top of the wish list: Igli Tare (formerly of Lazio) and Tony D’Amico (Atalanta). They are both heavily appreciated by the CEO Giorgio Furlani.

There is one key factor to consider, though, and that is the contractual status of the two. Tare is a free agent and would be able to join immediately, getting more time to plan for next season. D’Amico, meanwhile, is under contract with Atalanta and would likely be difficult to get.

Therefore, Tare is ahead in the race even if Furlani made it clear that the Rossoneri won’t rush things, keen on making the right long-term play.

  1. That’s great.

    The guys who burned €32m on a second striker who is barely as good as the second second striker already on its books are now going to go for an inferior option as director over a few mil.

    The best thing for Milan would be to get out of its own way.

  2. Why? Cause lotito never gave him lot of money and he worked with that and somehow played CL and EL , just as cardinale want. He is similiar to lotito.

    But i don’t care if you chose among these two,they are both $hit options for a big team as we should consider our Milan ,but the president obviously dont think so and sees milan as some development team that will make money for him like salzburg,leipzig,lille,atalanta…

  3. Because he’s free. And so is Allegri. Why you folks expect anything else or more from these RottenTurd cheapskates? It’s been same old for the last 2, 5 season.

  4. Tare is RedBird choice apparently.
    D’Amico is Furlani/Elliott choice.
    Let’s see who’s in control.

  5. Why furlani choose another yes man with unknown record ? The right man wasn’t far away bro Furlani. The man that build Milan with rubbish budget recent 5 years ago. That man was called Maldini. Just bring him back bro !!
