AC Milan are hoping to make a decision on their new sporting director soon, and at the moment it seems that Igli Tare is clearly leading the race.
Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanPress) talks about Tare and the possible choice of the Milan leadership, outlining the reasons why the former Lazio director has convinced the club to at least partly entrust him with the summer rebuild.
The meeting in London with Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic showed a ‘strong man, lover of the pitch and life on the pitch, and talent scout’. In the past he had already been close to the Rossoneri too: Paolo Maldini tried to hire him before turning to Frederic Massara.
Tare’s task will be to restore order at Milanello, trying to recreate the bubble that the players and the coach need to perform at their best. He did it in the capital for 12 years, he will try to do it at Milan if he is entrusted, as it seems, with the new role.
Everything will revolve around the clarity the roles and responsibilities of each managerial figure, something that has been missing up to now. He will also have the task, barring any surprises, of choosing the new head coach for next season as well.
In his time with the Biancoceleste he never had any problems in taking responsibility and putting his face to defend his work and his choices, another aspect that is missing at Milan. Time will tell if he is the right man, but what matters for now is that he seems to have won the Diavolo over.
