Delio Rossi says: “One day Lotito asked me how I would have seen Igli in the role of sports director. And I replied …”
The first stage of the route is a comparison in a Room in Formello. A question thrown there, without deepening too much. “Sabatini will go away. What do you think you will name the sports director?”. President Lotito has a special relationship with him, who, however, at that moment the footballer is still, in Lazio at the time coached by Delio Rossi. “President I see of the potential in Igli, but I would support him someone maybe”. Lotito, on the other hand, makes his head. He sees particular qualities in the tare and entrusts him with the assignment. “What could be a gamble proved to be a great intuition – says Delio today, who had a privileged panorama to observe tare at the work: first as a footballer and then as a manager -. Igli is a director present, authoritarian and capable. He was also at the beginning. He surprised me for passion and dedication”. Tare has just been officially appointed Milan’s sports director, called to raise the Rossoneri after a decidedly negative season. “The years at Lazio have been a great gym. To the Milan players I say to let him work, he will bring great results.”
