Cohen: Cardinale ‘frequently comes to Milan’ but has delegated media duties

It seems that AC Milan’s chairman, Gerry Cardinale, is working in the shadows, perhaps to keep focus on the team.

There has been a lot of criticism directed towards Cardinale in recent years, but last year, it ramped up massively. Protests against him, and the rest of the management, in fairness, were regular, and it became rather toxic when Milan played.

At San Siro and away from it, calls for him to leave were heard regularly, and this even resulted in a protest outside Casa Milan on the final day of the season.

Criticism has also been directed towards the American for a lack of presence, but this seems not to be the case, as Luca Cohen reports.

“Even though he hasn’t been seen publicly for months at Milan [in matches, stadiums, press conferences], Cardinale frequently comes to Milano, even in recent weeks. He closely follows everything related to Milan. Every public role is delegated to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as we know.”

Given his situation with the fanbase, perhaps it is better to stay out of the limelight until the time is right. After all, he wants the best for the club, too, and if he were to be the cause of toxicity (even indirectly), then it benefits no one for him to be visible.
