Angry Milan fans start petition to fire CEO Furlani
Milan fans have started a petition urging the club to sack CEO Giorgio Furlani, who blame him for the lack of a clear transfer strategy.
It had been suggested that appointing a sporting director like Igli Tare last summer would provide some much-needed clarity to the club when it came to choosing players and negotiating deals.
However, multiple reports continue to claim the final decision has to go through Furlani, therefore slowing down the process, and providing Max Allegri with a squad full of players unsuited to his style of football.

Furlani is also the closest representative to owner Gerry Cardinale, so as Milan fans cannot take out their anger on the chief, they are instead focusing on him as the issue.
With a series of comments on the official club X account calling for Furlani to be fired, now some have even started a formal petition, which has already picked up thousands of signatures from angry supporters.
He has been on the board of directors since 2018 and was appointed CEO in November 2022.
