'Friedkin model' and contract details: Why Sarri and Tare are favourites [Early Access]

Thanks to the 'Friedkin model', contract details and difficult alternatives, Maurizio Sarri and Igli Tare have emerged as the favourites to lead the new AC Milan.

As we approach the end of the season, AC Milan’s search for a new sporting director and a new head coach is intensifying. Many names have been brought up by the media lately, with Fabio Paratici even mentioned as a done deal at one point, so it’s been difficult to follow everything. However, as we have learned, Igli Tare and Maurizio Sarri are the current favourites.

While it’s always been reported that Milan will choose the sporting director first, and then decide on the head coach with said director, it’s also true that the Rossoneri already have a clear identikit. Indeed, they are looking for an Italian with experience in European competitions, though above all with a solid background in Serie A. As such, one name in particular has grown stronger: Maurizio Sarri.
