AC Milan fans have had enough. A growing chorus of discontent has turned into a formal petition demanding the dismissal of CEO Giorgio Furlani, with supporters blaming him for the club's chaotic transfer strategy and recent on-field collapse.

The frustration has been building for months. When the Rossoneri failed to appoint a dedicated sporting director last summer—with names like Igli Tare floated as potential candidates—many hoped it would bring much-needed structure to player recruitment and contract negotiations. Instead, reports indicate that Furlani retains the final say on all major decisions, creating a bottleneck that has slowed deals and left the squad ill-equipped for the demands of modern football.

The results speak for themselves. Just a month ago, Milan were firmly in the Scudetto conversation. Now, after managing only seven points from their last seven Serie A matches, even a top-four finish and Champions League qualification hang in the balance. The squad assembled under Furlani's watch has been described as poorly suited to Max Allegri's tactical system, leaving the manager with a roster full of square pegs in round holes.

Furlani, who has served on Milan's board since 2018 and was appointed CEO in November 2022, is seen as the closest representative of owner Gerry Cardinale. Unable to direct their anger at the American chief, fans have instead made Furlani the target of their ire. Social media has been flooded with calls for his ouster, and a formal petition has already gathered thousands of signatures from supporters who feel the club's leadership is failing them.

For a club with Milan's storied history, the current chaos is a far cry from the glory days. Whether the petition gains enough traction to force change remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the Rossoneri faithful are demanding accountability, and they want it now.
