Igli Tare has recently opened up about his feelings regarding AC Milan's failure to qualify for the Champions League. Speaking at the end-of-season dinner hosted by the Milan Club Old Clan, where he was a guest, Tare shared his thoughts on the past season. Following the termination of his role by Gerry Cardinale, along with Furlani, Moncada, and Massimiliano Allegri, Tare reflected on the challenges faced. "I accepted this invitation with great pleasure and honor because, when I arrived last year, my first meeting was with you, and I immediately felt the love for this jersey and these colors," Tare said. "I feel somewhat guilty because, on the final day, we couldn't secure Milan's spot in the Champions League. However, one thing remains true: Milan is bigger than all of us. Even if it was just for a year, it was a great honor for me to work for this club, and you will all be in my heart wherever I am." Milan has yet to appoint a replacement for Tare or the other outgoing figures. Oliver Glasner is currently the leading candidate for the managerial position, while Ralf Rangnick's decision regarding a potential directorial role is still pending.
