After several months, Gerry Cardinale returned to Milan on Wednesday and took the opportunity to visit Milanello, for the first time in over 500 days.
As Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews) report this morning, and as we pointed out in our feature last night, the visit from the owner comes at an important time for the club, given that Comvest is poised to replace Elliott as its financier by March.
It can be interpreted as a sign of medium to long-term unity and continuity right from the very top, both in terms of what is happening on the field and in the boardrooms of Casa Milan. The project continues without any major changes planned.
MILANELLO AND CASA MILAN –
Corriere della Sera add that the entire Milan management were waiting for Cardinale at Milanello. CEO Giorgio Furlani – who will remain in his position even after Elliott’s departure – plus sporting director Igli Tare and Zlatan Ibrahimovic were all there.
Cardinale also had the opportunity to meet with Massimiliano Allegri and all the players, whom he congratulated on the excellent results achieved so far and encouraged them to continue on this path.
Around lunchtime, the RedBird No.1 then moved to Casa Milan where he met with president Paolo Scaroni and financial director Stefano Cocirio. After completing his visit to the headquarters, Cardinale left the city.
His presence yesterday, first at Milanello and then at Casa Milan, was highly significant. There were many issues to discuss with various departments of the club: from the stadium to the upcoming financial statements, and of course the mercato.
Despite the many rumours that have been doing the rounds in recent days, no changes are expected on the board, at least for now. The plan is to keep everything the same for continuity purposes despite Comvest’s arrival as the new financier, so no upheaval is expected.
