According to Footmercato, the Milan management is ‘more than ever divided into several camps’.

Milan will face Lazio after consecutive league defeats at Torino and Bologna over the last week, when they also went out of the Champions League with an aggregate 2-1 playoff loss to Feyenoord. “We are aware of the moment, of what happened both because of our mistakes and what we can’t control,” Conceicao told a press conference on Saturday. “We can’t cling to bad…

AC Milan are actively moving to bring in an experienced sporting director. TMW says Milan want the new man in place well ahead of the summer market. Director and advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic doesn’t want the position, so leading GM Giorgio Furlani to seek an outside appointment.
