For the birth to be official, it will be necessary to be certain that the Serie C championship offers at least a free window, but in this respect there are few doubts and therefore in via Aldo Rossi and in Milanello the Under 23 project continues regularly day after day. Indeed, if anything, the time has come to accelerate, because in the second half of July it will be necessary to submit all the documentation to register Milan-2 for the Serie C championship.
structure

The project intrigues the club’s leaders, both from the point of view of visibility and because it is considered very functional from a first team perspective. And since the Diavolo U23 will be a team that will have a life of its own, it will have a dedicated organizational structure behind it. The two main positions have already been assigned: Jovan Kirovski will be the sporting director, the one who will have to form and amalgamate the squad in a mix of boys coming from the Primavera, returnees from loans and, why not, some targeted and prospective new arrivals. Kirovski was basically Ibrahimovic’s first real move as a Rossoneri super consultant. He wanted it, he brought it after meeting and getting to know him in the Galaxy, where he held the position of technical director for eleven years. Kirovski brought champions to Los Angeles like Ibra himself, like Gerrard, but also talents with a career ahead of them like Puig. In short, someone who knows what to do and who Zlatan has bet on with his eyes closed.
promotion

Kirovski, 48 years old, is in Milan these days and is expected to meet Daniele Bonera. That is, the second name around which the Under 23 team will revolve. The former Rossoneri defender, who in recent years has been a technical collaborator on Pioli’s staff, playing an ever-increasing role, will be promoted to the bench of the second Rossoneri team. Upon returning from Australia, where he led the first team in the friendly against Roma, Bonera will make direct contact with Kirovski in order to make an initial state of the art. The Primavera will be the main propellant for the U23 squad, although it will also be necessary to understand which boys Fonseca wants to keep in the first team squad. The names are those already known by the fans: they range from Zeroli to Bartesaghi, from Simic (if he stays) to Jimenez (who will be retained at Milanello), from Sia to Cuenca. And then, again, among those who will return from loan experiences: Nasti, Devis Vasquez, Pellegrino, Lazetic, Traoré. Names for the moment useful only to compose a list. The next meetings between Kirovski and Bonera will serve to go into detail. Milan Under 23 will play on the Solbiate Arno pitch, a stone’s throw from Milanello.
