CM: Gasperini a surprise candidate for Milan with director candidates key – the reasons | OneFootball

Gian Piero Gasperini has emerged as a potential replacement for Sergio Conceicao, given both are likely to change clubs at the end of the season.

According to Calciomercato.com, Conceicao’s fate at Milan is sealed. His mission is to finish the season in Serie A in the best possible way and try to win the Coppa Italia but then the paths of the Portuguese coach and the Rossoneri will separate.

Then everything is up to the new sporting director, though the search for Conceicao’s replacement starts from the premise that they are Italian and have a winning past. Massimiliano Allegri is a concrete idea in the mind of Giorgio Furlani, though not the only one.

The casting for the new coach will unofficially begin only in May when the choice of the new director will be clearer. In the last few hours, rumours have also been circulating about Gasperini, as he plans to end his era at Atalanta at the end of the season.

Gasperini’s profile has always appealed to Igli Tare, who tried to bring him to the Lazio bench a few years ago. The Albanian director has a chance of taking over at Milan, so that would certainly add fuel to the fire.

However, Tony D’Amico seems to be the one that Furlani really wants to be sporting director, and he has spent a positive last two years with Gasperini at La Dea, culminating with the victory of the Europa League in 2023-24.

The two have an excellent relationship of mutual respect and trust. Thus, there are two candidates for one position and a coach that both like: this is why the speculation about Gasperini at Milan could become something more concrete.
