Adriano Galliani towards a return to Milan in the coming months, when the sale of Monza has been completed. Whoever wants it, what his role can be and what it means to have recalled it in the Rossoneri for Redbird
The possible return of Adriano Galliani to Milan, eight years after the farewell with the sale of the club from Fininvest to Chinese businessman Yonghong Li, opens to many scenarios and some considerations. That Redbird and Milan have been dialoguing for weeks with the plenipotentiary of the Berlusconi eraarchitect of an unparalleled cycle in the history of world football, It is now not a mystery And it’s not even the first time. First, however, Galliani was linked to Monza and the difficult transition between the recent (glorious) present and a future still to be written.
Now that the closing of the Brianzola company has become a technical issue, Galliani can really think about what to do … when he grows up. Which means, since The call came from the property of the current Milanimagining a return that would be romantic as well as sensational. He, the man who of Milan was a managing director from 1986 to 2017right and left arm of Silvio Berlusconiputting his signature on the conquest of 29 trophies including 5 champions and Champions League cups, 3 intercontinental and 8 badges.
The best years of life, his and the fans of a club taken by Berlusconi with books in court and reported at the top of Italy, Europe and the world. Then the farewell, the return to football with Monza of which he has always been a fan, the joy of the historic first time in Serie A and, after Berlusconi’s death, the new and definitive detachment. At 81 Galliani can return, however, for the last one is more fascinating carousel round: Milan.
Milan, what the return of Galliani means (and what role it can play)
The well -informed tell that For him, an operational role and far from image would be ready. Not what was, today in the CEO office sits down Giorgio Furlani that direct enactment of the property, but something that can make available to Milan the immense experience and recognition of a manager who has gone through the last forty years of Italian and international football. He who was included in the Hall of Fame of the Belpaese football and who in his very long career was also at the top of the Serie A League as well as a thousand other things.
A sort of contact from the Milan sports areawhere there are Igli tarerecently called by Cardinal to deal with the market, GeooFrey Moncada Technical director and scout e Massimiliano Allegri Technician strongly desired to erase the disastrous outcome of the last season.
Do you need? Adding to Furlani himself, to the president Paolo Scaroni and Zlatan Ibrahimovic Which of Redbird is a partner (salary) with delegation on the Mian evidently yes. The evaluation was made by cardinal and the property and leads to some reflections. The first is that the club must be noticed that it absolutely need a guide that is able to summarize the needs of the different areas, knowing its needs, so as to make the programming work harmonious and the daily work, while respecting the roles of Furlani, Tare and Allegri.
Difficult to imagine Galliani old style Also in consideration of the 81 springs which, however well kept, are a reality with which it is mandatory to do account. Rivules it, however, at home Milan means that the process of recognizing the errors made in recent months is not at all concluded. Football men are needed to do football. Point. Lesson sent by heart by the Milan parts after alternative attempts.
Second theme: Milan lost weight and centrality in Italian sports and football policy. For a society that had become accustomed to being a locomotive and not wagon, an unacceptable condition. It is easy to think that Galliani’s experience can also serve and above all here, in the boring days spent in via Rosellini in Serie A League where it is important to count, as well as being there.
Third reflection: Galliani learned the art of diplomacy and knowing how to listen to not necessarily imposing himself in a thirty years with Berlusconi. In a club that continues to appear crossed by different souls, it is no small dowry. Those who have lived with SB for three decades can make it with Furlani and Cardinal, this is the challenge. It is clear that a role only of image or political would be like having hired a top player in attack and then forced him to play in midfield: money and time thrown away.
The other side of the medal is that Milan starts to become the Italian society with the organization chart – direct or indirect – richer and more complex. From the owner, Gerry Cardinal, up to the technician Massimiliano Allegri there are seven names with seven roles that would become eight by adding Galliani. More or less twice Inter (Oakree-M; Arotta-Ausilio-Chivu), Naples (De Laurentiis-Chiavelli-Manna-Conte) or Atalanta (Percassi and Pagliuca-D’Aico-Juic).
Only the new Juventus of the umpteenth year one (Elkann-Ferrero-Scanavino-Comolli-Modesto-Chiellini-Tudor) is comparable and is not necessarily good news, being also the bianconeri in the middle of an endless labor. In short, for too few and improvised after Maldini’s expulsion and Massara, too many and just the risk is concrete and it is perhaps also the only consideration that will keep the dossier of the return of Galliani to Casa Milan open until the end.
