Scaroni comments on Milan’s season, transfer failings, sporting director and Ibrahimovic’s role

AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni has admitted that it has been a bad season on the field, but pointed to the Supercoppa Italiana triumph.

Milan made the decision to entrust Paulo Fonseca with the task of taking over from Stefano Pioli for the 2024-25 season, and a number of signings arrived in Alvaro Morata, Emerson Royal, Youssouf Fofana, Tammy Abraha and Strahinja Pavlovic.

However, Fonseca’s tenure lasted just 24 games as he was replaced at the end of December by his compatriot Sergio Conceicao. Things started well as he lifted the Supercoppa Italiana after just two games, yet things have declined from there.

Now, a crucial summer awaits for Milan in which they must choose the right sporting director and head coach, to try rectify some of the mistakes from the past 12 months and right the course of a ship that sunk fast.

Scaroni spoke at an event at San Siro that the newspaper Il Foglio put on and he was interviewed by them about a number of different topics connected to the Rossoneri, with MilanNews relaying his comments.

Despite the results, Milan are top of Serie A for attendance…

“The fans are at the center of our attention, having the fans by our side is very important. Having them even in such a difficult season as this year’s is proof that we have fans who are, one might say, resilient today and who put up with Milan even when Milan are not performing brilliantly as they have this year.

“Even if I remember it, let’s not forget it, we took the Supercoppa right at the end. I don’t feel like I can say it was a totally negative season.”
