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.
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.

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.
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..
