AC Milan have appointed Albanian Igli Tare as their new sporting director, the Serie A club announced on Monday, as part of a broader reset following a disappointing season.

The 51-year-old former forward joins after Milan finished eighth in Serie A and missed out on European competition for the first time since 2019.

"We are pleased to welcome Tare to the Rossoneri family. He is the right person to kick off our reset," Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani said in a statement.

Tare spent 15 years as sporting director at Lazio, overseeing a period that included three Coppa Italia and three Italian Super Cup titles.
