"Several members of the AC Milan upper management met on Thursday, not in Italy but in the English capital London. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the summit was called by owner Gerry Cardinale. It was attended by the CEO Giorgio Furlani, the RedBird senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Milan board member Massimo Calvelli and chief brand officer Francesca Montini."
"The discussions focused on this season's performances, which risks being a disaster if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League. Above all, they spoke the future of Furlani and the structure of the club, which Cardinale is considering overhauling given the transfer failings in recent years."
"At present it seems as though the sporting director Igli Tare will depart, but other changes are possible. Furlani, who played a key role during the Cardinale era (before the vendor loan to Elliott was repaid), could leave as well. The RedBird founder has evidently already begun restructuring the club and will make a decision on the new structure after the end of the season. First, however, he wants to hear his managers' version of events."
"Cardinale's high regard for Calvelli suggests the former ATP CEO could play a key role in the administrative side. It remains to be seen how much influence Ibrahimovic will have, as he has been very active at the club in recent days, holding meetings with staff and other staff. Will the Swede, who will be a commentator for Fox Sports during the World Cup, gain more power? If so, will he keep both technical director Geoffrey Moncada and Jovan Kirovski on board to lead the Milan Futuro project? Or will new men be appointed to fill all positions?"
Several AC Milan upper-management figures met in London at the request of owner Gerry Cardinale. CEO Giorgio Furlani, RedBird senior advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, board member Massimo Calvelli, and chief brand officer Francesca Montini attended. The meeting focused on this season’s performances and the risk of disaster if the club fails to qualify for the Champions League. Cardinale also considered overhauling the club’s structure due to recent transfer failings. Sporting director Igli Tare appears likely to depart, and Furlani could also leave. Cardinale has begun restructuring and plans to decide after the season ends, while first hearing managers’ perspectives. Calvelli may take an administrative role, and Ibrahimovic’s influence could expand, affecting Milan Futuro leadership and staffing decisions.
