AC Milan's pursuit of a new Head of Football has hit a snag with Markus Krösche's likely departure from Eintracht Frankfurt. Former Eintracht coach Albert Riera revealed the reason behind his short-lived stint with the German club, citing incompatibility with Krösche. Riera praised Krösche's profile but criticized the club's strategy, which rendered the coach powerless in terms of scouting and squad composition.

Riera's comments may have implications for Milan's search for a new director. Gerry Cardinale had identified Krösche as a potential candidate, but Eintracht Frankfurt is reluctant to let him go. The club has already started planning for the upcoming season, and Krösche's role on the board makes his departure unlikely.

Milan now needs to explore alternative options, with the transfer market already in full swing. The club requires a clear plan and a new director to support coach Amorim in assembling a competitive squad for the upcoming Serie A campaign.

The decision on Milan's new leadership is expected to be made early next week, with the club hoping to finalize a deal soon.
