Furlani comments on Conceicao’s future and director hunt: “Someone who can make us win” | OneFootball

Giorgio Furlani has claimed AC Milan are at the ‘same point as three days ago’ in their sporting director hunt, and also commented on Sergio Conceicao’s future.

Milan have an important game tonight in front of their home fans as they look to finish the league season strongly and perhaps begin an unlikely late surge into the European spots.

However, a lot of the stories that have surrounded the club in the 24 hours have been about the future. More specifically, Fabio Paratici is now not expected to become the sporting director despite talk of an agreement.

Whilst the disqualification factor was known, sources stated that its impact would be more serious than first imagined, in terms of his limited range of operation and the possibility of further punishment in the criminal trial.

Furlani spoke to the Sky and DAZN cameras moments before kick-off at San Siro in the game between Milan and Fiorentina, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.

Can you give us an update on Paratici and the sporting director hunt?

“Three days ago I commented on this matter that we had not named any names and that no decision had been made. We are at a similar point to three days ago. There is no news and no choice. We are focused on preparing for the season, on choosing the right person and in the right roles.”

What profile should they be?

“The identikit is that he is someone who can make us win. The important thing is to choose the right person rather than focusing on timing.”

Will there be an ‘Italianisation’ in both roles, director and head coach?

“The important thing is that it is the right person, that they are competent. Of course we are in the context of the Italian league with all its specificities. Something that will be carefully evaluated.”

Will the structure remain with you, Moncada and Ibrahimovic?

“Too early to comment on these details. I would avoid at this time.”

What are the chances of Conceicao staying?

“Sergio is our coach, we are focused on doing well until the end of the season. Until proven otherwise he is our coach.”

Can you comment on Paratici?

“I have always said that I would not comment on news or alleged news about possible names that are not yet official, but I tell you that the reality of things is that we are where we were a few days ago.

“We have not yet decided on the sporting director beyond the many rumours that have been passed around.”

Is there a time limit to decide?

“We know that it’s already April and so it will be important to start preparing for next season. For us it is essential to take and choose the right person.”

What are the targets now?

“I want to stay focused on the pitch, on the match. We want to finish well, in our heads there is still the Champions League mission.”
