AC Milan are planning for the future with a new sporting director and a new head coach expected to arrive. Gian Piero Gasperini’s name is gaining momentum for the latter position, a report claims.
According to Claudio Raimondi in his report for SportMediaset (via MilanNews), while waiting to define who will be chosen as the sporting director of Milan – with Igli Tare the current favourite – a new name has emerged to take over from Sergio Conceicao.
It is Gasperini, the current coach of Atalanta who Tare had already tried to hire in the past when he was at Lazio. His candidacy is gaining traction among the offices of Casa Milan, as the possibility of leaving La Dea is growing.
Gasperini has a contract with Atalanta until 2026 and he announced that there will be no further renewals, so either this summer or next summer at the latest he will say goodbye to the Bergamo club:
“There is a beginning and an end, we will see at the end of the year whether to let the contract expire or interrupt the relationship, there will certainly be no further renewals,” he stated.
It comes after Calciomercato.com also stated yesterday that Gasperini is a name to keep an eye on, because Atalanta director Tony D’Amico is a candidate for the Milan job, and the pair could reunite in red and black.
Gasp doesn’t know how to talk to the press, p*sees off star players, p*sses off management and bottles title challenges – sounds like a match made in heaven..
I don’t disagree, but we’re 9th and next season our goal should be top 4 and stabilization. Thoughts about a title challenge that can be botched are completely premature. More of a concern is his age. He’s closer to retirement than anything else, and I’d really like us to pick a good manager and let him ride for at least 4-5 seasons. He’s got to have the energy and drive for it. After 9 seasons at Atalanta, and the stress of often being nearly-men, I’m not convinced Gasp has what we need left in the tank.
Conceição already has had problems with man managing Milan diva players. Gasperini is going to do even worse.
Maybe not. Gasperini would at least stick to his decisions.
Gasperini can solve all our problems he is master when it comes to tactics and game plan we don’t care anything else any player that feels he is important and doesn’t want to work with the couch we will let him go couch is more important than player
