Who do you think was worse, Paratici or Giuntoli?
Giuntoli had some good moves, he lowered the overall wage bill, offloaded high earners like Tek and Sandro, and brought the average age of the squad down. He also made some big-name signings, even if most of them flopped. At the time, they were considered solid buys.
But of course, his flaws are well-known. I think his biggest gamble was on Motta, and he lost. Maybe if he had brought in Conte last year instead, things would look very different right now.
Paratici, on the other hand, barely made any smart moves in my opinion. He flooded the team with high wage players on long term contracts, and most of his signings didn’t deliver. He even let go of Romero in a situation similar to Huijsen’s. Personally, I think Paratici was worse.
