NBA fans really underestimated how great the Lakers could be with LeBron James and Luka Doncic playing together. While the latter has been trying to etch himself into his new team’s history books, a disappointing stretch should not disillusion fans with what lies ahead. You see, as per ‘StatMamba’ on X, Doncic joined James as the fastest Lakers player to record 300 points and 100 assists with the organization. So their start might have been slow but their future seems to be bright. Then there is JJ Redick, who is proving every doubter wrong in his first season as the…
AC Milan will make some big decisions ahead of the 2025-26 season, ones that will determine the near and potentially distant future course of the club. The initial two-step has already been outlined. Firstly, Milan are looking for a new sporting director to join the current management following Antonio D’Ottavio’s exit in December. Geoffrey Moncada should return to being a chief scout, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s influence redirected slightly. From there, the director will have to begin planning how the squad will look for next season, and that includes picking the right head coach. A number of candidates continue to be…
Milan are still on the search for a new sporting director and an eventual replacement for current head coach Sergio Conceicao, but the Rossoneri are not expected to make any official decisions during the March international break, despite having a fortnight off from Serie A action. Serie A football will take a two-week break for the March international break, which includes Italy’s Nations League quarter-final against Germany coming up on Thursday and Sunday. While there is a chance for teams to regroup, Milan will not be making any long-term commitments in terms of their new coach or sporting director. According…
For months Youssouf Fofana was AC Milan’s only impressive summer signing, and yet in recent weeks his importance has been reduced under Sergio Conceicao. As Calciomercato.com write, since the Portuguese coach took over from his compatriot Paulo Fonseca, the strong feeling is that the hierarchy has changed within the dressing room. While for some players that is good news, others will naturally drop down and this includes Fofana. In some of the most recent outings, the circumstance could be justified in some way by the evident state of tiredness of a player who – until the match against Parma on…
More news on AC Milan’s kits for the 2025-26 season continues to emerge, and now there has been a leak regarding the away shirt. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, for next season Milan will use their ‘Diavoletto’ logo instead of the classic oval crest. It is a badge that first emerged over 40 years ago, a ‘little devil’ created from three flames. It was first introduced by Milan in 1979 and immediately appeared on the shirts together with the star of the tenth Scudetto, won a few months earlier. The new crest, as it was called at the time,…
A Journalist has reported that Chelsea actually beat Manchester United, AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and PSG to a new signing. The news comes after Chelsea were defeated by Arsenal in the Premier League yesterday, losing to a first half headed goal by Mikel Merino. The game was obviously not without its drama and Chelsea fans saw what they expect to see every time Robert Sanchez starts, and that is him making a silly mistake and giving away a goal. This time he got lucky, but Maresca continued to back his goalkeeper at the full time whistle once again. Meanwhile,…
AC Milan held several meetings with Andrea Berta to try and convince him to go there instead of to Arsenal, but they were unsuccessful. As we have reported recently, Milan are looking for a new sporting director to join the current working group following Antonio D’Ottavio’s exit in December. Geoffrey Moncada is the technical director on paper but remains the chief scout in practice, and would prefer to that position. Recently, CEO Giorgio Furlani flew to the USA to meet Gerry Cardinale and confirm that he has full powers when it comes to who is appointed, after learning that meetings…
Yunus Musah left the field to jeers during AC Milan’s win over Como on Saturday, and yet the club still believe hugely in his potential. As Calciomercato.com write, the three points obtained by Milan on Saturday evening against Como were worth a lot because they came against a team in good form, taking advantage of the head-to-head games between teams above them to trim the gap to fourth spot down to six points. It was a game that confirmed the exponential growth of two top players: Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders, who scored the goals that engineered the turnaround. However,…
AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani is continuing the process to appoint a new sporting director as part of a larger restructuring of the management. It is not yet clear what direction Milan will take next season, but one thing that is clear is that Furlani has wrestled the powers of command away from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and is now leading the casting for the new director. According to today’s Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress), there is no deadline by which the executive hopes to make an appointment and the process is proceeding slowly. In fact, the former hedge fund manager will…
Tijjani Reijnders is having a simply outstanding season for AC Milan, and he may begin to think about various records to be broken. According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews) this morning, Milan will start their planning for 2025-26 by building around two players: Christian Pulisic and Tijjani Reijnders. It is no coincidence that the Dutchman has already extended his contract until 2030, netting a pay rise. The Rossoneri know well that their excellent performances have attracted the attention of other clubs and for this reason, after the Dutchman, they aim to lock down the American winger very soon with a one-year…
