Milan, Billy Beane's algorithms instead of Paolo Maldini are an insult to the history of football

Artificial intelligence can open new horizons to humanity but think of managing Milan by replacing the experience of an icon like Paolo Maldini with the algorithms of Billy beane, the creator of the Moneyball, is not just madness: it is an insult to the history of Milan and football. But that is what is happening. And that's what he's doing Gerry Cardinal, the owner of the American fund RedBird who controls Milan and who yesterday fired Maldini and immediately met Billy Beane. His algorithms will plan the next transfer-sales campaign and the AC Milan club's next moves on the transfer market. Will he also train for Milan? As sporting director, Paolo Maldini gave Milan a Scudetto, which had not been seen since time immemorial, a semi-final Champions and three consecutive Big Ears Cup qualifiers. Are we sure that the algorithms will do better? There is none of the Rossoneri fans who believe it. But the president of Milan, Paolo scaroni, who understands football and business, has nothing to say? Cardinal, RedBird and Billy Beane down from the tower.
