AC Milan are considering the prospect of hiring Thiago Scuro from AS Monaco to become the new sporting director, but why is this the case?
With the planned restructuring of the management, Milan need a sporting director, and the responsibility for finding that person lies on the shoulders of Giorgio Furlani now, after recent interactions with Gerry Cardinale.
Two new candidates are apparently in the running, and one of those is Thiago Scuro, but who is he?
Well, as Calciomercato.com write, the Brazilian is the director of Monaco, who have recently been undertaking a bit of a renovation/rebuild project themselves after their late 2010s project caused a bit of a struggle.
Starting in Brazil, the director then joined Red Bull in 2015 via the Bragantino club – which is the Brazilian equivalent of Leipzig and Salzburg.
Then, in 2023, he was called to replace Paul Mitchell, the highly respected former director of Monaco, and the rest is history.
In 18 months, he has rebuilt the club, making a number of huge signings for the club, and reinforcing the current talent at the club, all whilst focusing on talent under the age of 2027 – which is a trait that, imaginably, would be a big tick for RedBird.
Furthermore, he is responsible for ‘relaunching’ talents, especially young ones, whilst doing things sustainably, which again is a huge factor for RedBird.
They just want someone who has experience with feeder clubs. Cause that’s how they see Milan too. However they also can’t understand that Milan is not Monaco ans Seria A is not the French/Dutch league where you have 1 good team and the rest are average, so not as much competition for top 4 and more space for developing players in those lower leagues. Seria A is completely different beast.
Perfectly Said
Spot on. This potential candidate must have “yes man” on his profile.
We are tired of building talent.. All we want is to win.
No more try and Error. Young talents is not working in Milan we are not a mid table club. Milan is known to have champions as players who are ready to contribute massively on the pitch…
Building on talent is the reason the Milan Futuro was created.
Every club in the world build talent. Either by keeping them in the club or loaning them out. It’s not very sustainable to just buy ready made players, especially in today’s market where ready made players are minimum 60mil. It’s not the 2000s when they were 20-40mil.
Instead of getting someone who is Italian. experienced, knowledgeable and proven in Serie A these bozos will go a non Italian with zero experience in Serie A. Milan is going down hill from here. Smh
Everything with we Milan fans is Italian instead of competence. If I would stop supporting Milan it would be because of this nonsense. Italian this or that. Milan is a global club not just an Italian team. Is Madrid coached by a Spaniard or are the start players from Spain. This is exactly why racism is rife in the seria A.
at least madrid has more spanish players in their team than milan italian players
Carvajal, Vasquez, Garcia, Asencio, Ceballos & Diaz are Spanish….plus they buyplayers under 20 yrs for 40+ m euros, never went for rejectees like Felix, Abraham, Pulisic, RLC, Tomori & Royal
Like to add, Last 7 Serie A winning Coaches Inzaghi, Spalletti, Pioli, Conte, Allegri, Mourinho (Portuguese), Ancelotti… .
Well All are Italians except 1
Racism? What does nationality have to do with skin color? You people go and throw around these kind of remarks too easy while you don’t even understand its meaning. Dweeb.
And it’s a fact that in last 30 years or so only two foreign coaches won Serie A. Get your facts right.
“And it’s a fact that in last 30 years or so only two foreign coaches won Serie A. Get your facts right.”
So, Serie A is being “racist” for not allowing foreign coaches to win. 🙂
Gerry Cardinale the ambitionless fücker
Saying that I am overwhelmed by despair is an understatement. We’ve gone from needing to rebuild and thus hiring professionals well-versed in Italian football, to an “anyone will do, even if no one knows who they are, as long as they’re cheap and good at following orders” approach. Perfect strangers, who gained notoriety from a few strokes of luck, become the great managers that the whole world desires—in fact, everyone is lining up to recruit them. Years of experience? Deep knowledge of Italian football? Knowledge of the club’s language? A long history of success? Championships, cups won over years of work? All nonsense. We, the managers of Milan, never make mistakes; we have clearly demonstrated that during the current championship!!!!.
Another stooge. We’re officially a midtable club. Nothing unusual from the muricans, they tend to destroy anything they touch. Especially abroad.
It’s Furlani’s show now. Let’s see what breaking ideas he has to relaunch this sinking ship.
The problem is that if Furlani is the one choosing the SD then ultimately he is the one calling the shots and not the SD. Which defeats the purpose altogether. SD needs to run the project and CEO needs to make the numbers work.
The way this is setting up is the other way around. Hope I’m wrong.
Finally people are seeing what I have been telling for YEARS now.
Better late than Never.
Furlani is the puppet of Elliot
Redbird is at Elliot’s Merced since they still own Elliot 500m plus in vendor loan at a crazy 13% interest.
So we will never be a club tha will spend to win titles. I have said it over and over and over again and yet still some one actually believe we will spend money to win titles LOL
Keep dreaming.
The sporting director will be exactly like this guys profile /m- sign young talent and develop to sell like Monaco always does. Same with us. We are a FEEDIER club and nothing more. Ambition is to JUST QUALIFY to UCL so we can make the Vendor Loan Payments (60M plus/year IN INTEREST) until Gerry decides to sell to a company that actually HAS its OWN $$$ – you know like Investcorp did until Furlani screwed us.
So no matter what sporting director we chose or coach – results will basically be the same. Change starts from the top and until Redbird sells it will be the same TRASH we are seeking now: 8th place; out of UCL; out of Coppa; infighting between management; absent owner; horrible signings that majority have flopped; coaches that have flopped: etc…like I sad: TRASH
Apologies for the spelling errors**
Seems like Elliott is just renting Milan out to RedBird. LOL!!!
Tbh that’s exactly what it seems in all seriousness. The more I look at it the more I have to remember that they are still a vulture fund preying on the weak. They basically paid 300m for a 1.2bn as.set. a price they inflated it to themselves. Genius. Outside of money needed to keep the books proper initially, the remaining transfer monies are basically within the budget of the as.set itself. So they haven’t spent much but acquired an iconic club on the cheap. Now they’re letting redbird run the show and ponying their money (which has been minimal so far) in meantime while the as.set gains value. Notice they were not as strict with Redbird for missing a payment deadline as they were with Li. However, with our performance this season they risk losing value and spiraling into a position where they’d need to restart the whole process again. But anyways Elliot is smart. They might still get paid twice for the same as.set lol
