Milan ultras have urged supporters to get ready for an “unprecedented” in-person demonstration against owner Gerry Cardinale. “This summer is going to be long, and the worst is yet to come.”

The Rossoneri found themselves in crisis after missing out on Champions League qualification, culminating in a crucial 2-1 home loss to Cagliari that sealed their fate.
Previous protests have already taken place, demanding the dismissal of CEO Giorgio Furlani.
However, despite Cardinale’s decision to let go of coach Max Allegri, sporting director Igli Tare, technical director Geoffrey Moncada, and Furlani, the discontent continued to grow, with Special Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic seemingly gaining more influence.
None of the vacant positions have been filled yet, leading to the Curva Sud group expressing their discontent in a formal statement.

“As OUR club sinks deeper into chaos due to haphazard management and opportunists, we find ourselves with critical roles unfilled and a fanbase that struggles to cope with owners whose actions erode the passion for our colors and this historic institution.

“There’s no better way to impact those who care only about appearances, driving profits, and enhancing their brand at the cost of Milan’s competitive standing than by tarnishing their image.
“Our owners are distant, attempting to propagate their unsavory vision of football through select media channels, and they must be confronted internationally to convey that the fans will not stand for this any longer.
“Many are urging us for a significant protest: WE can assure you, our supporters have consistently shown unity and strength when required (just think of last year).
“This summer will be lengthy, and greater challenges lie ahead. With civility, resolve, and passion, we must not allow them any advantage. We invite all fans to prepare, for when the time comes to protest, mere social media presence won’t suffice; we must gear up for a remarkable gathering.

“Milan isn’t owned; it belongs to its fans. This is a matter of the heart, and we can’t allow these disrespectful speculators to treat it like a private corporation stripped of values and identity, destroying a love that has flourished for over a century.”
As other clubs actively pursue new signings and develop transfer plans, the Rossoneri lack leadership capable of negotiations or the formulation of a strategy for squad development.
