"Milan Futuro continues to travel its own path, where the league is only relevant up to a certain point. Last season's relegation, which at first glance might have seemed like the final straw for the entire project, was quickly brushed aside. Geoffrey Moncada's words said it all: "Playing in Serie B, Serie C, or Serie D isn't that important to us; what matters is creating talent, not the division.""
"Massimo Oddo, along with Mauro Tassotti, is one of the project's key guarantors. Proof of this is the two-year contract renewal for both, rather than the usual season of trying to see how it pans out. The coach could have legitimately aspired to a higher division, but he was convinced by what the club explained and proposed to him. The same goes for Tassotti: after a lifetime on the pitch it wouldn't have made sense to accept joining Oddo's staff for the sake of it."
Davide Bartesaghi exemplifies Milan Futuro's ability to produce first-team talent while the club pushes for more graduates to progress. The project accepted relegation to Serie D but maintained focus on player development rather than league placement. Significant investment exceeding €15m and managerial continuity preserved the initiative's philosophy. Massimo Oddo and Mauro Tassotti received two-year renewals to ensure stability, and sporting director Jovan Kirovski framed short-term results as transient while long-term growth remains central. The relaunch emphasizes development pathways and operational continuity despite a reputational setback from the drop.
