Changes in Management Structure

Milan have also finalised terms with Eintracht Frankfurt director Markus Krösche, who has expressed support for Amorim’s appointment. However, a formal agreement is still forthcoming between the Rossoneri and the German club regarding the transition of both Krösche and Timmo Hardung, the prospective sporting director. The club remains confident that these appointments will be resolved within the coming days.

Recent Leadership Overhaul at Milan

The restructuring at Milan follows the recent dismissals of coach Massimiliano Allegri, along with prominent executives Geoffrey Moncada, Igli Tare, and Giorgio Furlani. These actions took place after Milan finished fifth in the 2025-26 campaign, resulting in their failure to qualify for the Champions League.
