Cardinale: Milan and Serie A must change immediately

In the heart of a lengthy interview granted to the daily Il Sole 24 Ore, American manager Gerry Cardinale, owner of Milan, analyzed Serie A's potential, comparing it to the Premier League and emphasizing the need for urgent change.

The comparison with Hollywood

"Serie A was the Premier League. Milan was at the top. What happened?" Cardinale asked, stressing that the lack of renewal risks losing the lead.

He likened the situation to Hollywood, where complacency gave way to a DVD seller. The arrival of Netflix crushed the old models, demonstrating the power of technological change.

According to Cardinale, in Italy people fear change and show resistance to innovation. For this it is essential to show up every day with urgency and a spirit of reinvention.

The manager said he wants to be one of the catalysts of the renewal of Italian football, improving the product to make it more appealing to distributors and the international audience.

Returning to innovate with urgency, according to Cardinale, is the key to bring Serie A back to the level of the Premier League and to exploit the great potential of Italian football.
