"Cardinale entertained himself talking to the managers (present in full), the technical staff and the players. Particularly significant was the moment when he shook hands and hugged Captain Maignan, whom he congratulated on the renewal of the contract, since Mike has an important value for the Devil's sports project. Cardinale also stopped to talk alone with Allegri, with whom he took stock of the team's situation, fresh from two consecutive victories and -8 from the leader Inter."
"During Gerry Cardinale's visit, he took the time to specifically greet Mike Maignan, who has recently renewed his deal with AC Milan, but why was this significant? It is big enough in itself that Cardinale was at Milanello twice in the space of under a month. However, his visits have held different levels of importance for different reasons. The first was a welcoming back, almost, given his absence."
Gerry Cardinale visited Milanello twice in under a month, first as a near-welcome-back following his absence and then to re-establish his central role and support the team. He took time to speak privately with staff and players, notably congratulating captain Mike Maignan on renewing his contract. Maignan's renewal ends a protracted saga and represents the first contract extension under RedBird ownership, carrying significant PR and sporting implications. Cardinale also met alone with coach Allegri to assess a squad coming off two straight wins and sitting eight points behind league leader Inter, showing active oversight and trust-building.
