Milan management shows new face [Bonus Article]

The international break is underway and after three games without a win, claiming just two points, most of us would like to focus on something else. But staying on AC Milan as the topic, let’s talk a bit more about the mercato that just came to an end. Did the Rossoneri management take unprecedented risks, or were the fans left rightfully disappointed?

The answer can be yes to both of those questions, of course, but it’s important to keep a close eye on the management in times like these. ‘When the going gets tough’, as they say, and the interesting thing here is that Milan’s struggles started before the end of the transfer window. It’s only natural, therefore, to assume that it had some kind of effect on the management.

We discussed the exact figures of each deal, as well as what it means for the future, in our annual breakdown of the summer mercato. What we didn’t discuss, however, is the potential shift in strategy on the incoming front. Were unprecedented risks taken, or did it just feel that way? At the very least, we got to see a different face of this management.
