A shock move to Milan? Inter legend reveals where he wants to continue his career
Could one of Inter's most influential figures suddenly join their fiercest rivals? Piero Ausilio has addressed the possibility of working at AC Milan after ending his long association with the Nerazzurri. However, the experienced executive has a completely different destination in mind!
Details: On November 10, Fabrizio Romano shared Ausilio's comments about his professional future. Asked about a possible call from AC Milan, the former Inter sporting director explained that his preferred next step would be a new chapter in the Premier League. He also expressed his motivation to work abroad after spending so many years in Italian football.
Ausilio's departure marked the end of an extraordinary era at Inter. He joined the club in 1998 and gradually progressed through its sporting structure before becoming sporting director in 2014. His work helped build several successful squads, including teams that won Serie A and reached the Champions League final. His contribution to the club's transfer strategy made him one of the most recognisable executives in Italian football.
On September 2, Inter confirmed Ausilio's departure by mutual agreement after 28 years. His former deputy Dario Baccin was appointed as his successor. Premier League interest had already been reported around the time of his exit, but no English club has officially announced an agreement with him. His latest remarks indicate a preferred direction rather than a completed appointment.
It's worth noting that Ausilio helped oversee major Inter transfers involving Lautaro Martínez, Achraf Hakimi, Marcus Thuram and André Onana. His experience could attract clubs seeking to strengthen their recruitment departments. However, he has not named a specific Premier League destination or confirmed any negotiations.
Reminder: AFCON 2027 qualifiers: Ange-Yoan Bonny ruled out, Oumar Diakité called up as replacement.
