AC Milan are considering Timmo Hardung for the role of Sporting Director, a move that could be linked to Markus Krösche's potential appointment as Head of Football. Hardung, 36, has worked closely with Krösche at Eintracht Frankfurt, where he has been instrumental in the club's success, including the development and sale of talents like William Pacho and Randal Kolo Muani.

Hardung began his career in football in 2011 at Hoffenheim, where he worked his way up to become Team Manager of the first team. He then joined RB Leipzig in 2019, before following Krösche to Eintracht Frankfurt in 2021. His expertise in identifying and nurturing young talent has been a key factor in the club's recent performances.

The potential partnership between Hardung and Krösche at Milan has generated significant interest, given their successful track record together. Their collaboration has resulted in several shrewd signings and substantial profits from player sales, demonstrating their ability to drive growth and success in a club.

If Krösche were to join Milan, it's likely that Hardung would follow, forming a dynamic duo that could shape the club's future.
