Ibrahimovic Survives Milan's Administrative Revolution

Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic appears to be the only figure distant from the anticipated radical changes within Milan, following the disappointing season that ended with the team's failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.

Milan lost to Cagliari 2-1 at San Siro, losing the chance to secure a spot in the continental tournament, even though a draw would have been enough to ensure qualification due to the head-to-head advantage over Como.

The Italian newspaper 'Corriere dello Sport' reported that Milan fans intensified their protests before the match, demanding the departure of several officials within the club, led by Ibrahimovic, along with CEO Giorgio Furlani, talent scout Geoffrey Moncada, and club president Paolo Scaroni.

The newspaper added that club owner Gerry Cardinale is considering making extensive changes within the sports and technical administration, which may include coach Massimiliano Allegri and sporting director Igli Tare, while Ibrahimovic remains the most likely to continue, with greater powers granted to him in the upcoming phase.

The newspaper indicated that Ibrahimovic would play a prominent role in choosing the new coach, after clear disagreements emerged between him and Allegri in recent times, making the continuation of both together unlikely.

The report also explained that Milan's management had contacted Antonio Conte to explore the possibility of him taking over the team's coaching, before later shifting directions towards hiring a coach with new ideas, in the style of Spaniard Cesc Fabregas.

The recent developments confirm that Ibrahimovic emerged with minimal losses from the state of fan anger and the anticipated changes within the club, as Milan prepares to rebuild its sports project after a season marked by many criticisms and failures.
