AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni has stepped into the public spotlight with statements that have sparked lively debate among Rossoneri supporters. Two main topics were addressed: his trust in Gerry Cardinale‘s vision, and the future of Milan’s new stadium.
Cardinale’s “Magic Touch”: Confidence in the Amorim Choice
Scaroni publicly expressed confidence in the American owner’s so-called «magic touch» when it comes to choosing the right people. Specifically, the president revealed that Cardinale had been closely monitoring Rúben Amorim for some time, well before the Portuguese coach was officially confirmed as Milan’s new head coach.
«I trust that Cardinale has his magic touch in choosing people — he has shown this many times in life, and I hope this will be the case once again» — these were the words of the Rossoneri president, who frankly admitted he does not possess the footballing expertise to personally evaluate Amorim’s profile, but that he trusts the American entrepreneur’s judgement.
These words must be read in context: Scaroni is a guarantor president — a man from finance and institutions — whose role is to provide stability and representation to the club. The trust he expressed towards Cardinale is, ultimately, a signal of internal cohesion at a moment when Milan needs certainty. What matters now is that the club proves — on the pitch and in the transfer market — that the choices made are the right ones.
The Stadium: Autumn Presentation, the Façade Will Be the First Reveal
On a far more exciting front, Scaroni provided concrete updates on the new AC Milan stadium project. The president confirmed that everything is proceeding on schedule and that the official project presentation will take place in autumn 2026, once the summer is over.
The first element to be unveiled will be the stadium’s façade — an architectural detail that, according to Scaroni, will capture the interest not only of football fans but of the entire city of Milan. «It will be unique and a source of pride for Milan», declared the president, suggesting that the project’s ambition goes well beyond a simple football ground.
The new stadium is one of the cornerstones of RedBird’s strategic plan for Milan: a modern facility capable of generating significant independent revenues, which will make the club more competitive from a financial standpoint as well. A project in which Rossoneri fans have every right to place their enthusiasm and hope.
