AC Milan’s sporting director saga continues as we move past the middle of May, and a new name has entered the frame: Lee Congerton.

AC Milan were proud to launch Milan Futuro prior to the 2024-25 season, but around one year on the project has become a symbol of incompetence. As MilanNews writes, the relegation to Serie D is a historic, because for the first time in Italian football a second team is relegated to the amateur level. Seven years ago, Milan had to suffer the shame of the relegation of its Primavera team to the second division, but that situation was resolved immediately. Yesterday evening’s defeat to SPAL is a resounding shame, the certification of a programmatic failure of an initiative ‘born under…
