@andreabricchi77 on Instagram live: “I trust in Elliott, but I can’t be happy for how Rino and Leo left the club. Now I expect a very important replacement, like Campos and a high level coach. Conte seemed perfect to me, but he has gone to Inter. Jardim? Not sure about him”
This is indeed a critical moment for our team. Soon we will find out if Elliott is someone that we can count on or not.
Maldini is pondering Gazidis’ offer to replace Leonardo as Milan’s sporting director with more decision making power [Sky]
Personally I won't be happy if he refuses based on transfer budget or 'unclear project'. A poor Milan is still Milan.

So Sky is saying that Maldini has been offered the SD role (Leo's role). If this is true and Maldini says no, then I'm actually going to lose some respect for him. He's always said that he will only accept positions at Milan that give him a clear responsibility and he will never be just a face. Fair enough. I've never had a problem with that.
So this role would be the highest responsibility possible. If he rejects, then he is just afraid of responsibility as success or failure will be directly tied to him.
It doesn't matter whether we have a ton of money to spend or not. There are plenty of SDs out there working with limited budgets. So here is the role Paolo. This is it. This is the money you have...will you help us make Milan great again? Will you help us build as good of a team as we possibly can build with these resources?
It's what you've been waiting for. Let's see what you can do!
Yep about Maldini, and it's not like his current role was clearly defined either. If offered a role like Leonardo he shouldn't turn it down. As far as autonomy goes of course a CEO sets budgets, Maldini (and fans) won't be happy with a low budget Milan, but that's not interference. Interference is owner/CEO telling to play with 2 up front.
