Milan Reportedly Eye Top-Notch Director to Fill Opening | OneFootball

Milan haven’t completely turned things around despite hiring Sergio Conceiçao and they might soon undo a pair of summer deals to have some ammo to spend. The owner is adamant about qualifying for the Champions League. He could shake up the front office down the road, Calciomercato reports.

The higher-ups fired sporting director Antonio D’Ottavio in December over disagreements with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Jovan Kirovski related to the Futuro squad. They weighed an internal solution to succeed him, promoting a secretary. In the end, they opted against it. Their CEO Giorgio Furlani took over the role thanks to a six-month federal exception.

Milan will likely hunt for a new high-level expective if they don’t reach their goals this season. Andrea Berta is available after a falling out with Diego Simeone. He has spent 12 years in Madrid, contributing to winning La Liga and the Europa League twice, among other trophies. They reached the Champions League final on two occasions.

The official could be keen on heading back to the Peninsula after a long spell abroad. He got his start at Carpenedolo back in the 2000s and then leveled up at Parma and Genoa before being hired by the Colchoneros and working his way up the ladder.

Our Take on Milan and Berta

They dismissed two apical figures a little out of the blue in the past, and it’s not hard to imagine they’ll do it again if their governor isn’t satisfied with how things are going. Bringing in a seasoned and level-headed director would only do them good.
