AC Milan faces a major crisis. Owner Gerry Cardinale is furious after the team lost to Atalanta. He now plans to sack several leaders at the club. Chief executive Giorgio Furlani, technical director Geoffrey Moncada, advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and sporting director Antonio D’Ottavio Tare could all lose their jobs. Manager Massimiliano Allegri is also in danger. The players will enter a strict training camp from tomorrow.
The Rossoneri risks missing next season’s Champions League. Cardinale warns that everything will change if the team fails to qualify for Europe’s top competition.
Meanwhile, FC Bayern Munich looks to Italy for new signings. The German champions are in talks with Juventus centre forward Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbian striker could move to Munich this summer. Bayern also wants Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz. They see the former Milan player as a cheaper option instead of Bernardo Silva. Diaz has a contract until 2027, but Bayern hopes to sign him.
In Serie A action, Napoli hurt their own title hopes with a 2-0 defeat to Fiorentina. Federico Bernardeschi scored against his old club. Riccardo Orsolini converted a penalty. Scott Rowe sealed the win with a late volley. Napoli sit second in the table, two points behind Juventus.
Elsewhere, Inter Milan received bad news. Forward Marcus Thuram has stopped training due to injury. However, young player Pio Esposito is ready to step in for the match against Genoa. Inter prepares to face Lazio in the Coppa Italia final. Former striker Christian Vieri believes Inter will dominate the match. But he warns that Lazio can still believe in victory.
Finally, a dispute continues over the Rome derby kick-off time. Serie A wants the match at 12:30. However, local police want to review safety concerns before confirming the schedule.
