FI - Juve to replace Pirlo with one of the following:
Gasperini - I can understand why we are linked with him and he is the best suited for this job
Inzaghi - When Lazio play well they are the most enjoyable team for me. Beauty is nice and I like his style BUT our midfield isnt exactly SMS L.Alberto so even with reinforcements I doubt he could pull it off
Spaletti - Did they just need a third name or what?!

1. Gasperini is Sarri-2. He has one game plan and relies on workhorses ready to follow his orders without any questions asked. If Sarri's Napoli was poor man's Barcelona, Gasperini's Atalanta is poor man's Liverpool or something. His system and he as a person are very unlikely to be a good fit for a top club such as Juventus.

2. Inzaghi looks interesting.

3. Spaletti could be an ok choice to replace Pirlo right here and right now, but it doesn't make sense to give him the entire season, probably the last one with CR7.

4. Get Max back asap ffs.

If for any reason we end up sacking Pirlo... that means that Paratici and Nedved both HAVE to go with him...

Im by no means defending Pirlo, but letting go of Pirlo means accepting that you screw up TWICE in two years.

Now I agree that Pirlo was more of a Agnelli idea, but... lets be honest, Agnelli is no going anywhere so... somebody have to pay for this 2 years and Nedved and Paratici are on the top of the list.

Allegri is a pipe dream sadly. Only way its happening is if we end up missing out on top 4 or europe and lose Coppa I.e complete failure.

Agnelli believes in this 'project', his fixated on the modern style of football, always focused on being the Elite, copying the Elite and noway can we take a double blow. If he was to get rid of Pirlo he will replace him with another 'attacking' type of coach IMO.

We've all heard it that he'd have to get rid of his two confidants for Allegri, not easy I'm not sure he will know who to get, whoever advised him to pull Marotta and tici from samp was a genius.

First focus for me should be to get rid and find replacements for tici and nedved, maybe Agnelli too though thats a bit extreme given the circumstances, and were not like them Spanish faggit clubs. However changes should always happen at the top just like it happened a decade ago.

Someone needs to go at the end of the season and I think if one goes they all go so I guess your right.

Gasp is not Sarri 2.0 - Sarri plays a very predictable style of football while Gasp is actually unpredictable.
Sarri did do well with Napoli and did well winning EL with Chelsea but he didnt do anything extraordinary. Atalanta playing like they do with their real level of players is just unbelievable work.
His system is exactly what Agnelli wants...
Person - I have nothing pro or against him. All I know he took a dig at Inter by saying he never coached a top club... I think he is the most fit of them all to play the kind of football Agnelli wants to see with our current crop of players + possible arrivals.
Inzaghi is interesting but he needs a strong midfield and even if we do get Locatelli and RDP - They are good players but they are not SMS and L.Alberto who both are WC players. Im not sure he can handle it. I do like his style of play and I`d love us to get him as coach.

Spaletti as you said will be ok to finish the season but not for next season - Its more probable we will stick with Pirlo at least until the end of the season so Spaletti is probably some BS.

I still feel that we would be making another mistake by hiring yet another Italian coach. Other than Allegri and perhaps Roberto Mancini, I don’t see any top tier Italian coach.
From the looks of it, Inter will have to sell this summer to survive. We could probably reclaim the Scudetto next year with Inzaghi, Gasperini or Spalletti but will be lucky to go past the quarterfinals of UCL..
I realize that I sound like a broken record here, but DD is the only foreign coach with any pedigree and who will probably not cost an arm and a leg. Even ZZ earns way too much.

Just demote him already and appoint someone from next season.

Spaletti was one of my favorite coaches in the past, I dunno what happened with him. His 4231, trequartista etc... was porn for me back in his Roma days, they played beautiful football.

Gasperini failed at inter but yet again who wouldn't?!

Inzaghi is good choice for me

He thing i remember about Spalletti back then, he insisted on his 4231 shape always, even when making subs and adjustments. Whether withTotti at treq or Totti upfront, Vucinic on the left of Vucinic up top etc... always 4231. That was a man that knew what he wanted

There is no way Pirlo will go back to being an u23 coach. If he leaves, I expect his coaching career to go south like Inzaghi.

I think of all top Italian players of the 2000s, the only one that has done remotely well as a coach is Gattuso.

He might get canned by ADL. Imagine if he replaces Andrea.
