Geoffrey Moncada may leave AC Milan as part of a summer managerial shake-up. Milan brought him in during 2018 as chief scout, later naming him technical director, while Elliott Management took control after Yonghong Li’s ownership issues. He has been credited with signings including Mike Maignan, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, Pierre Kalulu, Theo Hernandez, and Tijjani Reijnders. Reports from Nicolo Schira and others say Moncada’s influence is shrinking due to poor chemistry and differing football views with Massimiliano Allegri, who has limited his presence at Milanello. Moncada backed Zlatan Ibrahimovic against Allegri. If Allegri stays, Moncada could be sidelined or cut from the hierarchy. Allegri wants to remain, and Champions League qualification triggers an automatic renewal through 2028 at €6m net per year.
"It cannot be ruled out that Geoffrey Moncada leaves AC Milan as part of the summer managerial shake-up, it is claimed. With his background being in French football, Milan managed to convince Moncada to try a new experience in Italy as the chief scout back in 2018, with Elliott Management having seized control of the club after Yonghong Li's reckless ownership."
"He has remained more of a background figure despite actually being named as the technical director. He has been given credit for signings like Mike Maignan, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori, Pierre Kalulu, Theo Hernandez and Tijjani Reijnders among others."
"According to Nicolo Schira of Tuttosport and other outlets, Moncada's role at Milan is becoming increasingly marginal. There are 'poor chemistry and differing views on football' with Massimiliano Allegri, who has limited his presence at Milanello in recent months. The former Monaco scout was backing Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the clash with the coach."
"If Allegri stays then the Frenchman - despite his renewal signed in recent months - could end up sidelined or even at risk of being cut from the hierarchy. Allegri's wish remains to stay with the Rossoneri, and with Champions League qualification an automatic renewal kicks in until 2028 at €6m net per year compared to the current €5.2m."
