AC Milan have appointed Albanian Igli Tare as their new sporting director, the Serie A club announced on Monday, as part of a broader reset following a disappointing season. (More Football News)
The 51-year-old former forward joins after Milan finished eighth in Serie A and missed out on European qualification for the first time since 2019.
"We are pleased to welcome Tare to the Rossoneri family. He is the right person to kick-off our reset," Milan chief executive Giorgio Furlani said in a statement.
Tare spent 15 years as sporting director at Lazio before departing in 2023, overseeing a period that included three Coppa Italia titles and three Supercoppa Italiana triumphs.
One of Tare's first tasks could be to source a new head coach, with Sergio Conceicao expected to be relieved of his duties after just six months at the helm.
Conceicao oversaw a Supercoppa triumph over rivals Inter shortly after taking the reins but only won 11 of his 21 Serie A matches in charge in 2024-25.
