Gerry Cardinale is taking a more active role in AC Milan's decision-making process. According to Franco Ordine, Cardinale is now directly involved in the club's daily management, making him a key figure in the team's strategy. This change in approach became apparent after the team failed to qualify for the Champions League.

Cardinale's new role includes direct communication with players and influence over the club's spending. For example, he recently called Mattia Liberali, a young player who was released by the club last summer, to persuade him to return to AC Milan. This level of direct involvement is a significant departure from Cardinale's previous role, where he was more of a spectator.

Ordine highlights that Cardinale now has a central role in market decisions, supervision of young players, and strategic management of the club. This shift in power dynamics has resulted in a more hands-on approach from Cardinale, who is now closely involved in all aspects of the club.

The effectiveness of Cardinale's new approach remains to be seen, but the signs are promising. The recent signings of Gonçalo Ramos and Mario Gila are examples of Cardinale's commitment to strengthening the team.
