GdS: ‘Furlani’s casting’ – Italian direction for Milan after latest failures | OneFootball

AC Milan are looking to head back down the Italian route in management, after the past two appointments have been unsuccessful.

This season has proved a lot about Milan, and none of it really has been positive. Going from the Rossoneri’s position of strength coming into the season to now, where the side are flailing and trying to find European football next season, is an absolute failure.

Unfortunately, the blame can be pointed in several directions – from the management to the coaches and even to the players.

So, another direction will collectively be taken in the summer, with Sergio Conceicao set to depart, and after being given control by Gerry Cardinale, the pressure will fall on the shoulders of Giorgio Furlani.

Moving forward

The next step now is to find the best solution for all situations, and this involves the hiring of a new head coach and sporting director, a process which has already begun. Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write that the first interviews will ‘get into full swing’ next week, with Furlani ready to host meetings.

Fabio Paratici is one of the first priorities for Furlani, the Italian loves the Italian market, but is not afraid to look abroad for value – something which will be appreciated by the management, and in turn, the fanbase.

The paper suggests that the director has already begun planning the future in his head, however, nothing has been decided yet, even if he is the favourite for the role, there are others in the race.

An Italian coach

After Paulo Fonseca and now Conceicao, there is a need to return back to a ‘local’ coach. Massimiliano Allegri stands out as the ‘most accessible option’, but there is also the name of Maurizio Sarri, who could be ready to take the reigns.

Then, Antonio Conte and Roberto De Zerbi, who have previously been interests for Milan, are also options, but they are both harder to attract. Looking internationally, the most likely is Cesc Fabregas, but similar issues are in place.
