Insulting graffiti and banners targeting Milan executives Gerry Cardinale and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have emerged around San Siro, featuring some particularly harsh slogans.
The club is in disarray following their failure to qualify for the Champions League, culminating in a home defeat to Cagliari.

In response, RedBird owner Cardinale moved swiftly, parting ways with coach Max Allegri, along with sporting director Igli Tare, CEO Giorgio Furlani, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada all at once.
The sole survivor of this shakeup is RedBird’s special advisor Ibrahimovic, who now faces the task of finding replacements for the departed executives.

However, the ultras remain dissatisfied, demanding a complete overhaul, including the potential sale of the club to new investors.

New graffiti and banners emerged outside San Siro today, delivering a clear message: ‘Cardinale bloodsucker’ and ‘Cardinale go home,’ notably in English.
The banners directed at Ibrahimovic were equally severe, reading ‘Ibra saboteur, go away’ and ‘get these bastards out of our Milan.’
Additionally, one targeted Jovan Kirovski, who oversees the youth academy and the struggling Milan Futuro second squad, which was relegated from Serie C to the semi-pro league, with the message: ‘Kirovski amateur, resign immediately.’
