With the offseason approaching, EuroLeague clubs are already thinking about the future. After a disappointing EuroLeague campaign, EA 7 Emporio Armani Milan is expected to make some changes, not only in the roster but in the front office as well. 

As initially reported by Repubblica and confirmed to BasketNews, Gianmaria Vacirca, currently a scouting and basketball operations consultant for Derthona Basket, will join Milan in a front-office role. 

For several years now, Vacirca has been one of the most respected and appreciated scouting experts in Italy. During his career, Vacirca has worked for multiple clubs in various roles, including Vanoli Cremona, Pallacanestro Varese, and Capo D'Orlando.

In his latest experience with Derthona, Vacirca has helped the club to become one of the most exciting teams in the Italian Legabasket. 

With Christos Stavropoulos, the other main front office figure in Milan, more focused on keeping relationships with EuroLeague, LegaBasket, and the other leading basketball organizations, Vacirca is expected to have a role more related to the basketball operations. 

Emporio Armani Milan is currently playing in the Legabasket playoffs, leading 2-1 in the first-round series against Pesaro. 

Milan remained out of the EuroLeague playoffs this season after reaching the Final Four two years ago and the playoffs last season.
