The 51-year-old former forward joins after Milan finished eighth in Serie A and missed out on European qualification for the first time since 2019.

"We are pleased to welcome Tare to the Rossoneri family. He is the right person to kick-off our reset," Milan chief executive Giorgio Furlani said in a statement.

Tare spent 15 years as sporting director at Lazio before departing in 2023, overseeing a period that included three Coppa Italia titles and three Supercoppa Italiana triumphs.

One of Tare's first tasks could be to source a new head coach, with Sergio Conceicao expected to be relieved of his duties after just six months at the helm.

Conceicao oversaw a Supercoppa triumph over rivals Inter shortly after taking the reins but only won 11 of his 21 Serie A matches in charge in 2024-25.
