Milan President Paolo Scaroni has outlined Elliott Management’s vision. “Players win games, but titles are won by clubs.”
Scaroni’s short reign at the helm of Milan has overseen an overhaul at board level, with the likes of Leonardo and Paolo Maldini coming in, and the 73-year-old believes getting the basics right off the pitch will only help the team on it.
“We haven’t won a Champions League since 2010, and last year we hit rock bottom with the national team not qualifying for the World Cup,” he told La Stampa.

“We haven’t won a Champions League since 2010, and last year we hit rock bottom with the national team not qualifying for the World Cup,” he told La Stampa.
“That’s in the past now, but a series of developments from last season can put Italian teams back at the centre of world football.
“I don’t know if we’ll do that this year, but the new platforms are clearly ready. Players win games on the pitch, but titles are won by clubs.
“There are many models and there’s the stock exchange. Barcelona and Real Madrid both have popular shareholder models.
“The fans own 73 percent of Bayern, with Audi, Adidas and Allianz each at 9% to promote Bavaria.
“There are also great businessmen. Give us a few years and we’ll see. Am I angry about losing to Real Madrid? No, we held our own and Real Madrid remain a top tram.
“Higuain scored and it was an important test for us.”
