Di Marzio: Tare ‘getting closer’ to becoming new Sporting Director – the influences | OneFootball

Igli Tare’s name emerged relatively recently in the sporting director picture for AC Milan, and it seems that he may be the favourite to be the chosen candidate.

With Milan needing a reset, from top to bottom, hiring a new sporting director is needed, especially with Geoffrey Moncada’s contract expiring. Earlier in the season, it was reported that the Frenchman’s future would be judged on this campaign, and so there are no shocks that the club are looking elsewhere.

A few names have swirled around the post, including Andrea Berta, who was seemingly the preference, however, the club are set to seemingly settle on Tare.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, via Milan News, the Albanian had a positive meeting in London on Friday afternoon with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Gerry Cardinale to become the new sporting director. Should this happen, Moncada would, surprisingly, ‘remain with him’ as the pair have ‘excellent relations’.

At this moment, it seems that Fabio Paratici sits behind him in second, but that does not necessarily mean that a decision has been made up. However, as things stand, it certainly seems it will take a lot to change that ranking.

Considering how much frustration there has been over the management’s choices this season, it will be interesting to see how Tare is supported, given those who are largely behind his potential appointment have been viewed of late.
