The whole coaching situation started because our board wanted a more attacking style but chose poorly with Sarri and Pirlo is a ridiculous appointment as he never coached before.
Considering our team and considering we want to play attractive attacking football bla bla...
Gasperini is the most attacking coach with a great record with Atalanta who were nobodies before Gasperini. They are playing attacking football scoring lots of goals, the system compliment the players and his 3-4-2-1 formation could easily be deployed with Dybala Chiesa Morata Ronaldo (although we might have changes there..)
Midfield - a player will definitely be purchased either way.

Inzaghi - I like his style more but he relies on his great midfield which he wouldnt have here.
Zidane - Zidane is a great all around coach but not sure how many changes he would need for his tactics to work here.
Allegri - Allegri is a great tactician, he is proven and we know he gets the job done. The only reason he is not the most suited for the job is his philosophy which isnt really an attacking one.

In terms of our board vision Gasperini is indeed the best fit.
I agree Gasperini is a very good fit to our squad with a couple of changes. The 343 would work great with Bonucci, Chiellini, Cuadrado and Alex being so used to a back 3. Dybala can operate like Ilicic and Arthur would shine playing in the role Pessina plays as midfielder in advanced positions to link the attackers. One of the Bentancur and Rabiot would be fine to play in a midfield 2 with someone like Locatelli. Chiesa is different from anyone in Atalanta as they don't have pacy wingers but surely it can work.

The reason Gasperini failed at Inter was because he fielded an over the hill back 3 defense made up of Cordoba, Samuel, Chivu, Luico etc so what makes you think he'd want to keep the likes of Chellini and Bonucci?

Gasperini would literally be a rehash of Sarri. 63 years old, 0 trophies won, pretty dogmatic with his 3 at the back tactics, not much of a plan B. The one thing better about him is he’s a classy likeable guy, whereas Sarri was a chainsmoking, classless bum.

But enough with hiring 60 year old managers with zero championship pedigree. If we want to take a flyer on a young and upcoming coach with a lot of promise so be it. But signing 60+ year olds with 20-30 years of coaching experience and zero titles, fuck that nonsense.

Gasperini a classy likeable guy? lol

He is famous for being insufferable

No one likes him yet he is an amazing coach and keeps being the best in Serie A over the last few years
I’ve always found him fairly likeable, but fair enough if others don’t... and he definitely presents himself in appearance and manner as far classier than the chainsmoking, tracksuit wearing bum Sarri.

You and Orgut were Sarri supporters when we hired him, so of course you down for another 60+ year old lifelong loser who plays “pretty football”

We need to bring back a real coach who knows how win titles. Max. And if not him, Zidane.

How can you seriously compare the two?
One managed Napoli and then Chelsea didnt underachieve but Im not sure he has overachieved.
Gasperini 0 titles - Yeah its different when you coach Atalanta to Juventus..
Atalanta arent that great in terms of players its more of the system that makes it easy for everyone. Dont get me wrong they do have some players that can make it but most of the team isnt exactly Scudetto contender.

Before he coached Atalanta he managed Genoa and did very well as well. The only place he failed was Inter and it was a job doom to fail.

Also - Sarri "champagne football" is very predictable and didnt prove to be such great in attacking stats but Napoli.
Gasperini`s football is the exact opposite as its important to have possession but they are by far more concrete and to be leading the goals for and have that goal diff with Atalanta is actually remarkable.

You might say you dont like him or that you dont want him here but he is without a doubt a good coach.

A.Sandro should be nowhere near that LCB role, he is short and easily get caught - He just doesnt fit this position
Danilo - Yes he can play there
MDL is the obvious choice and Chiellini should just retire - He isnt what he used to be and its understandable at his age.
Demiral - Still unsure about him as I do think he tends to be over aggressive at times. I saw Varane links before so it could be interesting...

Arthur - he is very good for possession football but he also has 2 major problems:
1. He has one good defensive move every 10 games..
2. Before I finish this post he will get injured again..

Joke of a post. Imagine calling Gasperini a loser.

How else are you supposed to call someone who's been coaching for 18+ years and won ZERO trophies?
Gasperini > Allegri

Just like it was Sarri > Allegri

style > substance is the order of the day

    Imagine being a supporter of Sarri and Gasperini. Great winners those two! :tuttosport:

    Why are you grouping Gasperini with Sarri? He has had a a whole squad that earns less then just Ronaldo alone, and been overacheiving in a real good way with them. Sarri has gotten backing with funds from Napoli and Chelsea, and with us, and showed himself to be wanting (except initially with Napoli, but as soon as he got more funding to compete, he shrank, and made excuses for why they cant compete every week, instead of focus on the game).


    You can say Gasperini is a small team coach, yes, but I wouldnt group him with Sarri, his football seems more effective, and he gets more out of less, real teamplay at every level. His main blight has been failing at Inter, but that was for mere 3 months. Otherwise, making Genoa CL spot level team almost, and making little Atalanta a near power house type team on sheer footballing tactics alone, is something to be commended IMO.

    Did I say Sarri or Gasperini were better than Allegri?

    Things are not binary and don't have to fit in your Internet narratives, liking Allegri doesn't prevent you from thinking that the winner of the last two panchina d'oro is in fact a good coach. Probably too complex of a concept that more than one coach can be good. Easier to define people as losers.
