Igli Tare is expected to remain AC Milan’s sporting director for only about one year, with his departure likely at the end of the season regardless of results. Milan’s next steps depend heavily on whether the club qualifies for the Champions League, though Tare’s exit is presented as largely independent of that outcome. A replacement has already emerged: Tony D’Amico, who is set to leave Atalanta as Cristiano Giuntoli takes over as sporting director in Bergamo. D’Amico is expected to be available to negotiate after Atalanta’s internal changes are finalized. Milan are reportedly ready to pursue him again, valuing his track record combining capital gains with sporting results. Roma may also compete for him, potentially reuniting him with Gian Piero Gasperini.
"Igli Tare is likely to last just one year as AC Milan's sporting director, with his possible replacement already lined up. Milan's future will depend heavily on whether they qualify for next season's Champions League, but not that of Tare. It seems that at the end of the season - regardless of how the campaign ends - the Albanian will leave his role after less than a year."
"A specific name has already emerged to replace Tare: Tony D'Amico. He is leaving Atalanta, given that Cristiano Giuntoli is arriving in Bergamo to be the new sporting director. This change will obviously be made official by La Dea only at the end of the season, but the path is already clear."
"D'Amico will soon be free to reach an agreement with whomever he chooses. After pursuing him last summer, Milan are ready to return to the fray, having turned to him last summer because of his ability to combine capital gains with results in recent years. For this reason, D'Amico is bound to be attractive to a club managed by a fund like RedBird Capital."
"This is why his stock is soaring to replace Tare. The parties have been discussing the matter for months and have already agreed on a two-year contract with an option for a third season. Beware of Roma, who are also pursuing the director and who could give him the chance to reunite with Gian Piero Gasperini. Currently, the Giallorossi are lagging behind the Rossoneri, but they will make an attempt in the coming days."
