Zlatan Ibrahimovic decided to strike hard. Present at the club since 2017, sports director Antonio D’Ottavio was dismissed from his position. The decision was taken by the club in recent days. In accordance with the regulations of the Italian Federation (FIGC), the Rossoneri will now have to appoint a new sporting director in the coming weeks. According to the Italian press, this departure is explained by several disagreements between the Italian leader and the Swedish legend. Between the two, there were deep differences on certain strategic choices between the first team, the Milano Futuro team and the youth sector.
The appointment of the new sports director should arrive shortly. Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with the help of Jovan Kirovski, will always form the backbone of the management structure. We are moving towards an internal solution with two candidates vying to succeed Antonio D’Ottavio: Roberto Carrario and Dario Audasio, who have training as sports directors. AC Milan is making changes, only the official press releases are missing.
