Although there are reservations for the new structure at AC Milan, Gianluca Di Marzio has stated it would be unfair to judge yet.
With anything, putting a new structure in place is difficult and it takes time. If results arrive straight away, fantastic. However, it may take some time for the cogs to turn at the right pace and the right results to be found.

In other words, if next season is not a leap to the Scudetto, it would not be a surprise and it is likely not the target, at least not yet. Ruben Amorim does have a Scudetto clause in his contract, so the goal is very much there.
Yet, the focus will be on getting things working with a sustainable model in place for the future.
Time is needed
It is for that reason why Gianluca Di Marzio stated the need for patience with the new approach, even if he did admit that there was some apprehension about it, as MilanNews relays.
“There’s a new technical structure, new in a manner of speaking, because it’s part of an internal reorganisation where Almstad will be at the helm. He’s a figure who’s been at AC Milan for several years now, and he certainly had an influence on certain situations because he’s always been very close to the owners.
“I hope it’s the right choice for Milan, but Milan is certainly starting late compared to many others: it’s a Liverpool-style model, but that model has been built over time, over the years, so I don’t like to judge the choice today; it would be superficial.
“Milan had already lined up a deal with Tare and Allegri, namely Saibari, the Moroccan international striker who has done very well so far and who Bayern Munich has now signed and locked up for the future.”
