#LuisAlberto needs to report for duty today if he wishes to travel with the team for the pre-season training camp in Auronzo di Cadore.

Should the 28 year-old Spanish midfielder not show up today, it is believed #Lazio will have to consider a permanent separation. https://t.co/ViSBloTSxl
 
MANAGEMENT ROLES AND SCOUTING PROCESS

Since Transfer season is upon us there is a general tendency to mis-understand the roles of the people in the management and how management decides upon how a certain player should be signed.
 
MANAGER ROLES

Moncada (Chief Scout): Moncada heads a team of scouts employed by Milan. After the process I will describe below Moncada will shortlist players that seems to fit Milans style of play and recommend a shortlist to his superior Massara https://t.co/jtQzO6oSAY
 
Massara (Sporting Director): Massara is the Sporting Director. While there is no real definition as to what a Sporting Director does and how it is different from a Technical Director, Massara geneally reports to Maldini. His job is to filter the shortlist of names received from Moncada and decide upon which player to pursue in consultation with Pioli and Maldini. https://t.co/zGpOQNQkaR
 
Heinrik Almstadt: A less heard of Name in the media, Almstadt is not a director but an executive who purely works on numbers and data. Credited with building the academy at Arsenal Almstadt’s job is to use data and decide the maximum amount of money the management can spend on a transfer. For example if Player A is valued at 20M by his club, Almstadt’s job is to calculate the maximum worth of the player. https://t.co/Z0QG876urX
 
Maldini: Finally the man who leads this team, Maldini after receiving the list from Massara will lead negotiations with clubs with information from Almstadt on the financial side of matters. https://t.co/5620ye4AKh
 
Gazidis: The CEO of the club, Gazidis is an executive who overlooks all aspects of the club such as sporting, finances, marketing etc etc. His involvement in the transfer market is mainly through Almstadt and sometimes leading negotiations based on relationship with that club https://t.co/i65GDhAYYw
 
HOW A PLAYER IS SCOUTED AND SIGNED
Leading websites such as Wyscout and Opta has data on every bit of player playing in every nook and corner of the world. This data is downloaded by Data Scientists appointed as a scout by Moncada and these number are crunched entering variables.

that is used in our style of play. For example Milan uses a high press and hence the players are assessed using pressing success %.

Once the numbers are crunched and a shortlist is created then they are assessed by Scouts using Video Anlaysis. This eliminates a few names from.

the shortlist. This shortlist is handed to Geoffrey Moncada and his personal team of scouts who then assess these players live and by process of elimination a few more names and removed.

The final list is handed over to Massara who makes his personal assessments. With input from

Almstadt the names are scrutinized to check which player is financially feasible for the club. Once this is done Maldini leads negotiations for the player and if negotiations are successful then Milan sign the player.
