Gerry Cardinale is disappointed with the way AC Milan’s season has gone, and even his right-hand man Zlatan Ibrahimovic has ended up under scrutiny. La Gazzetta dello Sport begin a report by recalling what Ibrahimovic said on the eve of the Champions League play-off tie against Feyenoord regarding the owner: “Cardinale gives you space to be yourself, in exchange he wants results.” The results: Milan eighth in the league and out of the European places. Eliminated by the Dutch side in the Champions League. Beaten by Bologna in a boring Coppa Italia final. Winner of the Supercoppa Italiana. Milan’s sporting…
During a 50-win 2024-25 season, Los Angeles already pulled off the previously unthinkable, trading to acquire five-time All-NBA First Team guard Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks (plus injured center Maxi Kleber and little-used forward Markieff Morris) in exchange for just one first round pick in 2029, 10-time All-Star center/power forward Anthony Davis, and 3-and-D swingman Max Christie. To accommodate the three players it was bringing back for the two players it was sending out, Los Angeles also flipped its rights to the L.A. Clippers’ 2025 second round pick, plus point guard Jalen Hood-Schifino, to the Utah Jazz. Dallas flipped…
These are also the words that Corriere della Sera this morning chose to describe the situation of the club, who, rarely as much as this year, has been so wounded in its history, perhaps even more than during the recent “banter era”, as fans would call it, in which at least 120 million euros weren’t being spent and expectations were consequently much lower. The Rossoneri revolution must put at the center only one thing, the most important of all: Milan. For this reason, it is necessary to start by sorting out those who this year have ruined the club: the…
Jack Grealish has been linked with a summer move away from Manchester City, and he will hold showdown talks with the club regarding his future. According to a report by Give Me Sport, AC Milan are interested in signing Jack Grealish, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to him. The 29-year-old has struggled for regular game time at Manchester City, and he needs to move on if he wants to play regularly next year. Moving to Italy could be ideal for him. The English international has the technical attributes to do well…
The former Chelsea striker has struggled to make a significant impact during his time on loan at San Siro. Abraham is under contract with Roma until 2027, but his future in Italy remains uncertain. He has registered just three goals and five assists in 29 appearances for Milan and, according to Nicolo Schira, he is not part of Roma’s plans for next season, despite having two years left on his deal. Abraham enjoyed an amazing start to his career at Milan, scoring a stoppage-time goal against rivals Inter in the Supercoppa final. However, the England international wasn’t able to build…
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Milan owner Gerry Cardinale is highly disappointed by this season’s results and holds the sporting area, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, accountable. Milan owner Cardinale is disappointed by the team’s results this season and is expected to reshuffle the sporting area for 2025-26, starting with hiring a new sporting director. According to the latest report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Cardinale is willing to hire a new director to start a new project at the Stadio Meazza. The new figure that CEO Giorgio Furlani will choose will be tasked with reorganising the club and building a competitive…
The judgment against Milan, after a season like this one which ended at the Olimpico in the Coppa Italia final against Bologna with an indefensible performance, is a very harsh one. Two days after the final, the analysis in the press is even harsher than it was yesterday, when the focus (rightly) was on giving credit to the team that lifted the cup in Rome. Joining in the criticism of the Rossoneri club is also Il Giornale, which this morning headlines Franco Ordine’s piece as follows: “Football must be run by those who know football.” Even before that, it reads:…
Having lost the Coppa Italia final, the time has come for AC Milan to make strong decisions, and one of them will be the head coach position. As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes this morning, Milan can no longer procrastinate. Even if in the last two league games Conceiçao can qualify for a European competition in 2025-26, the management cannot wait any longer. The rebuild must start with a winning coach and on their list – in addition to Massimiliano Allegri and Gian Piero Gasperini – Vincenzo Italiano’s name has popped up. The Bologna coach has been on…
The Los Angeles Lakers shocked the NBA world at the trade deadline when they pulled off a trade for Luka Doncic. While they sent future Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks in the deal, the move set the organization up to have their next great superstar. It marked the latest franchise altering blockbuster trade that the Lakers have pulled off in their rich history. Although it’s been just over three months since they acquired Doncic, Los Angeles has been linked to a two-time NBA MVP. Sam Quinn recently reported that the Lakers have a…
The Dallas Mavericks have to wait for quite some time until they can see the duo of Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving. Before the 2024-25 NBA season ended, Irving suffered a devastating torn ACL injury which ruled him out for the entire campaign. Because of his injury and the Mavericks missing the postseason, they were rewarded with the No. 1 at the NBA Draft Lottery Without Irving, no one knows how Dallas will perform. That is why the team could make a move and acquire a backcourt player to pair with Davis. One name that was mentioned by NBA insider…
