More insulting graffiti and banners have appeared around San Siro aimed at Milan chiefs Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, including some particularly vicious slogans.

The club is in chaos after failing to qualify for the Champions League with a final round home defeat to Cagliari.

RedBird patron Cardinale responded within 24 hours by sacking coach Max Allegri, director of sport Igli Tare, CEO Giorgio Furlani and technical director Geoffrey Moncada in one fell swoop.

The only survivor of the cull was RedBird special advisor Ibrahimovic, who now seems to be tasked with finding replacements for all those figures.

However, the ultras are not satisfied, calling for a complete revamp including the sale of the club to new investments.

New graffiti and banners appeared outside San Siro today, sending a clear message, reading ‘Cardinale bloodsucker’ and ‘Cardinale go home,’ notably both written in English.

The ones aimed at Ibrahimovic were in Italian, but no less harsh, reading ‘Ibra saboteur, go away’ and ‘get these s**ts out of our Milan.’

There was also one for Jovan Kirovski, who is in charge of the youth academy and struggling Milan Futuro second squad, which was relegated from Serie C into the semi-pro league.

‘Kirovski amateur, resign instantly’ was the message for him.
