Longoni unhappy with Cardinale’s Milan silence: “Total unsuitability for the role”

Journalist Andrea Longoni has raised concerns about AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale's recent lack of media presence regarding the club. While Cardinale was initially vocal about his plans for Milan after taking over, his silence in recent months—combined with the team's poor on-field performance over the past year—has frustrated some fans.

Speculation about a potential sale has emerged, with Carlo Pellegatti suggesting that Cardinale's RedBird Capital could sell AC Milan to the Steinbrenner family. However, sources close to the ownership have denied these rumors.

In his weekly column for MilanNews, Longoni discussed these rumors and criticized Cardinale's silence as unjustifiable. He pointed out that Cardinale has been absent from the Rossoneri scene for an extended period, failing to comment even after a disastrous season or at the start of the new one. Longoni also noted that there was no public welcome for the new coach, Paulo Fonseca, further highlighting Cardinale's disengagement. He concluded that this silence, along with the lack of positive developments, reflects poorly on Cardinale's suitability as owner.
