AC Milan have finally decided on their new management structure, with Gerry Cardinale opting for an internal solution. This comes after a prolonged and complex process that saw the Rossoneri consider several top candidates, only to be met with rejection. Andoni Iraola, the former Bournemouth manager, was one of the first names considered for the coaching position but turned down the opportunity to join Liverpool.

The club also explored other options, including Oliver Glasner, Matthias Jaissle, and Mauricio Pochettino, but failed to reach an agreement. As the search continued, Ralf Rangnick emerged as a key figure, but he ultimately decided to stay on as the leader of the Austrian national team. This development forced Milan to reassess their strategy and consider alternative candidates.

In the end, Milan turned to an internal solution, appointing Hendrik Almstadt and Bobby Gardiner to key roles. This outcome may not be what Cardinale had envisioned when the search began a month ago. The process has been marked by twists and turns, with several factors contributing to the delays.

The appointment of Ruben Amorim as the new coach marks a new era for the club, but the journey to get here has been far from straightforward. Milan's fans will be eager to see how the team performs under the new management structure.
