that chaos in the choice of the sports director

The negotiation with the former Juventus manager jumps: divergences on the situation with sports and criminal justice. Now the name of Igli Tare returns which risks being a second option

The negotiation between Milan and Fabio Paratici for the role of direct sporting of the next seasons has run over. It seemed one step away from formalization, after numerous interviews and with an agreement hinted as a fact and only to be ratified, and instead we start from scratch. Or almost. A tear consumed in the name of the situation of the former Juventus manager who must finish serving a sports disqualification (20 July next), the legacy of the black budget affair, and which in mid -April will know whether or not to undergo a trial for the same affair.

Themes that led to the step back for the impossibility of finding a meeting point, the famous clauses through which Milan wanted to caution and paratici rejected, thanks to the approach of the expiry of the stop to operational roles in the world of football. However, you turn it, a twist because the condition of the manager was known to everyone at Casa Milan and everyone was known how there were the operational limits to be submitted until the date of July 20. In short, there were all the conditions for deciding whether to enter a negotiation or let it go, also for questions of opportunities and image.

The story of the last two months says, however, that Milan has decided to move forward. Paratici was in the Short list of Ibrahimovic, met in the presence of Gerry Cardinal in London at the end of February -never denied -, and entered the next one of the CEO Giorgio Furlani. Who had slowed down in front of the acceleration of the last few days, without however denying that he saw Paratici himself, always together with Cardinal, in this convulsive beginning of April.

Beyond the more or less interested journalistic reconstructions and tissues, therefore, the confirmation that the Rossoneri club and its property had taken the path of deepening the hypothesis by going far ahead. Then the abrupt braking that puts everyone in a difficult condition. Anyone who is the next on the list (Igli Tare returns overwhelmingly topical), it will be clear that it is a second option that is never a good viaticum to start a relationship. It resembles the parable of the coach’s choice in the summer of last year: Lopetegui, rejected by the fans, then Fonseca. Arrived weak even before sitting on the bench.

Waiting to know the solution of the rebus, the suspicion is that at home Milan continue to repeat the same mistakes: strategy and communication. Because if Paratici was really one step away from the signature, it does not make sense to be back precipitously, otherwise the rumor was made too much, without correcting it. Like other times in these tormented Rossoneri months.
