As we enter the summer transfer window, we take a look at recruitment challenges that sporting directors' face and how important stability is to a football club. Shailash and David focus on 4 clubs across Europe's top leagues whose current state highlights various recruitment scenarios.

• AC Milan - Geoffrey Moncada filling the void of Paolo Maldini & Ricky Massara.
• The amazing season for RC Lens will put their players and even the manager in the spotlight of others.
• Borussia Mönchengladbach's underwhelming season with players leaving on a free.
• The Netherlands and in particular PSV who need a new manager and have star players like Xavi Simons on other club's shopping lists.

Sporting Directors' Corner aims to look at football in the context of Sporting Directors, to delve deeper into this multi-faceted role and its impact within football across the globe. Keep an eye out for the next episode and let us know any feedback you have in the comments.
