Soccer: Milan to replace fired executives with internal managers - sources

AC Milan will not look outside to

replace the executives it sacked in a major overhaul following

last year's disappointing campaign but will promote managers

from within the club, sources said on Monday.

CEO Giorgio Furlani, Sporting Director Igli Tare, and Technical

Director Geoffrey Moncada all left the club as part of the

revamp, with former Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United boss

Ruben Amorim taking over as coach from the sacked Massimiliano

Allegri, who has landed the Napoli job.

The sources said American businessman Gerry Cardinale, whose

RedBird investment company owns the seven-time European

champions, will have a more central role and Amorim will have a

bigger say than his predecessor on transfers.
