ONE TOUCH INSIGHT
Milan’s collapse is less a blip than a symptom of a club adrift without a sporting director. The chants for Paolo Maldini echoing from a half‑empty San Siro after another 3‑0 home loss to Atalanta show fans mourning a lost compass, not just a bad result.
With just seven points from their last eight matches, Milan have fared worse than all but Verona, Pisa and Lecce. Pisa and Verona are already relegated; Lecce teeters on the edge. The run points to a deeper malaise in recruitment and coaching continuity, not a temporary slump.
A decision on a sporting director before the summer transfer window opens will reveal whether the club can restore a clear sporting vision and push for a Champions League place, or continue to drift.
