AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale is actively seeking a new technical director, with former Juventus executive Fabio Paratici emerging as a strong candidate for the role. This development is particularly significant as the contract of the current technical director, Geoffrey Moncada, is due to expire on June 30, 2025. The club’s management is focused on enhancing its operational strategies, and this potential appointment could reshape the club’s future direction.
Calciomercato reports that Paratici, who has been without a position since his resignation from Tottenham Hotspur in April 2023, could soon be available for new endeavors after his suspension ends on June 30, 2024. The seasoned Italian director faced a lengthy 30-month ban by Italian football authorities due to his involvement in the Juventus false accounting scandal. However, he has recently received clearance from FIFA to pursue consulting roles, making him a viable option for Milan.
The current management setup at AC Milan, established in the summer of 2023, is spearheaded by CEO Giorgio Furlani, with Moncada serving as the technical director and Zlatan Ibrahimovic taking on the role of operating partner and senior advisor for RedBird Capital. Following the recent exit of sporting director Antonio D’Ottavio, the club is keen to integrate another experienced football professional into their ranks to strengthen their management team and enhance strategic decision-making.
Fabio Paratici boasts a commendable track record, having achieved success at both Sampdoria and Juventus, where he collaborated closely with Giuseppe Marotta. His tenure at Juventus was marked by remarkable successes, including securing nine Serie A titles, five Coppa Italia championships, and two appearances in the Champions League finals. His expertise in talent acquisition and team-building has been pivotal in establishing Juventus as a dominant force in Italian football.
