GdS: Sartori ‘sews miracles’ on the pitch and in the accounts – why Milan are eager | OneFootball

In recent weeks, Giovanni Sartori’s name has emerged as a potential candidate for AC Milan’s sporting director position, and the former Rossonero could be the man to lead the club forward.

Since Fabio Paratici’s exit from the race, the candidacy has opened once again, and there is only one candidate who has an ‘easy’ route to Milan. Igli Tare is that option, but the name of Sartori is consistently rising.

As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, the director is in the Rossoneri’s sights and there are several reasons why this is the case, but there are two that stand out.

Most importantly, he has proven successful in Italy previously, and done so, causing his clubs to rise significantly. Chievo, Atalanta and now Bologna, three clubs where his work has been miraculous, without him taking the limelight regularly. Instead, he is discreet and omnipresent, seeing everything from a background seat.

Then, there is the other aspect, which will also impress the Rossoneri – he makes the accounts tick. He buys cheap and sells high, and this has been seen on several occasions, leaving nothing to chance. Odgaard, who currently plays for Bologna, is only the latest example, but that follows Franck Kessie, Dejan Kulusevski and Gianluca Mancini. The proof is in the pudding.

You can also factor in managerial imports, which he will likely be deciding if he joins the Diavolo in the summer, Gasperini and Italiano, to name a few, both immensely successful in their current posts.

Ultimately, the proof is in the pudding, and Milan have their eyes eagerly on the Italian.
