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.
