Longoni says Milan must decide new sporting director in the ‘next two weeks’ | OneFootball

AC Milan are evaluating several names for the sporting director role and as pointed out by Andrea Longoni, they should aim to complete the process in the next two weeks.

After what has been a very tough season, Milan need to rebuild their organisation and it starts with the management. A sporting director is desperately needed and several names have been mentioned, with Giorgio Furlani and co currently evaluating them.

In his latest editorial for MilanNews, the journalist Andrea Longoni discussed the situation and stated that a decision must be made in the coming two weeks. After all, a lot must be put in place ahead of next season and it’s better to start sooner rather than later.

“The choice of the sporting director is very important, with the hope that a proper one is hired, who gets broad powers on the sporting front. It’s a choice that must come very quickly, no later than these next two weeks of break.

“In mid-March, any club must plan for the following season and design the sporting project. On the table, there are renewals of important players or transfers, but also players to buy and negotiations already to be set up. No time to waste,” he wrote.

We discussed the sporting director role in our most recent bonus article, looking back at the Thiago Motta pursuit and what that teaches us about acting in a timely manner. Indeed, as Longoni said, there is no time to waste.
