Milan is preparing to enter a new era under the leadership of Igli Tare, who takes the reins of the team after a disappointing season. The parties reached an agreement last night, with the official announcement expected soon, which will definitively seal the start of the former Lazio sporting directorās adventure with the Rossoneri.
With the aim of bringing the club back to the top of Italian and European football, the Albanian executive will have to face a series of decisive choices, including the coach and the transfer market.
In this context, Milan is looking to renew itself, focusing on a strong Italian identity and a high-intensity style of play.
The choice of coach is crucial for Milanās future. Igli Tare has significantly narrowed down the field of options, and the two hottest names are Vincenzo Italiano and Massimiliano Allegri.
Vincenzo Italiano is considered the perfect up-and-coming coach for Milanās revival project. With an offensive and modern style of football, he led Bologna to win the Coppa Italia and achieve good results in the league, making him one of the most highly regarded managers at the moment.
On the other hand, Massimiliano Allegri represents a more experienced option. With a career full of trophies, including six league titles, three Super Cups, and five Coppa Italia wins, Allegri is seen as a guarantee of success, but his more conservative style of play might not fully align with the clubās new needs. La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights that, despite his experience, Allegri may be less in line with Tareās vision compared to Italiano.
The Coppa Italia victory with Bologna has catapulted Vincenzo Italiano into the race for the Milan bench.
Until that moment, the Rossoblù coach had not yet lifted any significant trophies, but his modern approach to the game and team spirit have made him stand out as one of the most promising managers in Serie A.
His knowledge of the Italian league and his ability to achieve results with attacking football are qualities that greatly appeal to Tare. Despite his existing contract with Bologna, Milan seems ready to make a move, although the contractual situation with the Emilian club could complicate matters.
Corriere della Sera reveals that today a meeting is scheduled between Italiano and Bologna which could be decisive: on the table is an increase from the current ā¬2.1 million net to ā¬2.5 million plus bonuses.
With the arrival of Igli Tare, Milanās transfer market will take a new direction. The strategy focuses on young talents, players with Serie A experience, and above all, on high-intensity football, which characterizes both the executive and his preferred coach, Vincenzo Italiano.
Destiny Udogie, left-back for Tottenham and the national team, is one of the main targets, as Tare had already pursued him in the past. With the imminent departure of Theo Hernandez, Udogie could be the ideal solution to strengthen the left flank.
For the attack, Milan could target Dan Ndoye from Bologna, who had an exceptional season, and Jens Odgaard, a young attacking midfielder. In defense, Mario Gilaās name tops the list, with Tare knowing him well from his time at Lazio. Luiz Felipe and Pietro Comuzzo, two other possible Italian reinforcements, should not be ruled out either.
In attack, another name that could enter the Rossoneriās radar is Lucca from Udinese, a physical center-forward who fits Tareās requirements.
Furthermore, Federico Chiesa, who has experienced difficult seasons at Juventus and Liverpool, could be an opportunity to relaunch him, as highlighted by La Gazzetta.
At the top of Tareās transfer dreams is still Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, a midfielder he brought to Lazio and who could be a major coup, although at the moment it remains a complicated, if not impossible, scenario.
