where do you get your info? Berl just didn't allow Gal to leave. Paolo would be more than ready to step into
I am not saying that Dorf would be a GM.
Every big club has many sport directors responsible for different areas and having different job titles. Leo was great, looked super fucking slick and everyone, everywhere loves him. He also participated in some great buys for Milan team. We lost this awesome modern, manager by giving him the role o a coach.
Paolo was rumored to decline joining the club in 'some' role just few months back. Apparently he wasn't 'ready'.
In my opinion they are reaching to the second person available who has a good international status and respect and this person is Dorf. There really aren't that many who fit the shoes. Sheva does but only in Eastern Europe but he wants to be a politician. Dorf is perfect then.
I also think that Galliani got a phony title to avoid the scandal and he really has nothing to say that much anymore. Did Berlu stop Galliani leaving or he just stopped the scandal in the middle of really shit season as well(after he just got sentenced himself too and is awaiting appeal). In my opinion Berlu only made sure that the bald one retires in peace.
Now, would Barbara start the reign with talking about fiancial audits yet hired a coach who is very risky and can end either way? Or maybe she just hired a club legend that fans love and everyone else respects in Leo' old job? A guy who would be 'her' employee inbetween all old folks? She needs that, she doesn't need a coach who could be potentially worse than Max. She needs a good coach and a great support from fans and directors. In my opinion Dorf is going to be new Director of Sport and fans misread this as him being a coach. What would happen if the caretaker works out great and Dorf is lined up? She would have to be an idiot to not to see this and possibly allow even more shit than what we had with Max.
