It's impossible not to be in a difficult position.
Igli Tare is sitting in a large armchair today, in the armchair and office of the Sports Director of a club that is 7 times European champion and 19 times Serie A champion, that is, Milan, but in the evening he will be at the "San Siro" stadium facing the team that held him in his heart.
First as a footballer since 2005, after ending his adventures with Brescia and Bologna, then from 2008 as team manager, and in 2009 as Sports Director.
This collaboration, almost a love affair, continued until 2023, so Tare has been part of Lazio, as a player and manager, for 18 full years.
He achieved significant successes, although not the championship title, which the Lazio team has only won twice.
The capitals, under coach Simone Inzaghi, won the Italian Cup three times, and the Italian Super Cup three times, with Tara ending his time at the club as runner-up in Italy in 2023.
The team still has players brought in by him, such as Romagnoli, Hysaj, Xhila, Marusic, while Imobile, Milinkovic-Savic and Luis Alberto are not forgotten.
This time has now passed and after about two years of rest, the former Albania captain was appointed Milan's sporting director on May 26 of this year.
The red and black team, under the leadership of coach Massimiliano Allegri, is close to the top of the Serie A standings, even with players who arrived in the summer like Modric, Rabiot or Nkunku, while Ardon Jashari, who has been injured, remains to be seen.
