Milan Owner Apparently Ready to Go Scorched Earth | OneFootball

Milan owner Gerry Cardinale is ready to intervene and end a power struggle that has reared its ugly head as the Rossoneri have been dipping lately. However, it’s not yet clear whom he’ll side with at the end, Sky reports.

The results will matter, especially as it pertains Massimiliano Allegri’s position. Director Igli Tare has already been marginalized and will most likely be axed no matter what.

An important caveat is that Milan are no longer heavily influenced by the Elliott Group, with which CEO Giorgio Furlani has deep ties, since Cardinale refinanced the vendor loan.

The apical official, who’s been targeted by a fan protest, is under heavy scrutiny. If he emerges victorious, he’ll look to poach Atalanta official Tony D’Amico and Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano.

On the other hand, Cardinale could wipe out the entire management and bring in Adriano Galliani to lead the new one. He would then choose the other executives, with Matteo Tognozzi and Giovanni Rossi, who previously worked at Juventus and Sassuolo, on his radar. He’d likely retain Allegri.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been making moves behind the scenes. He’d like to hire Fabio Paratici, who signed a long-term deal with Fiorentina a few months ago. Instead, he’s had a proper falling out with the gaffer. He’d likely step down if the former striker gained more power.

Our Take on Milan

It’s not surprising that the problems that had stayed hidden while they were somewhat successful came to light amid their slump. Most of the players involved are trying to curry favor, both publicly and internally. Their officials have done little to deserve another chance, especially Furlani. Then the owner should let the next hierarchy make the call about Allegri.
