Igli Tare is now the frontrunner to become the next sporting director at Milan, and reports on Monday claim that his preferred candidate to take over from Sergio Conceicao as head coach is former Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri. Tare is now leading the race to become the next sporting director at Milan. He is due to sit down with Rossoneri CEO Giorgio Furlani for a new round of talks later this week.
