After the departure of Igor Tudor, Pablo Longoria is looking for a new coach for OM. As often, he probes the Italian market. Gian Piero Gasperini, announced on the departure to Atalanta, was a hot track. But, the Italian technician turned around.
Italy, one of Pablo Longoria’s favorite hunting grounds in the transfer window but also fertile ground for quality coaches. This is good because the president of OM must find a replacement for Igor Tudor, who has resigned. Like the Croatian, passed by Hellas Verona and Udinese in particular, the future technician of OM is sought primarily in the boot. We quote the name of Ivan Juric, currently at Torino, but also of Gian Piero Gasperini. A very attractive second option given the performance of Atalanta in recent years. A dream not necessarily utopian since the latter is considering leaving the Dea this summer.
Gasperini finally stays in Bergamo
After seven years on the Atalanta bench, it is not illogical to see the 65-year-old coach being tired. Go elsewhere and why not at OM? Experience, success on the pitch, exciting game project: Gasperini has something to appeal to Marseille supporters. Qualified for the preliminary rounds of the Champions League unlike the Dea, OM also have assets to assert with the Italian technician.

A perfect plan which however fell through on Tuesday. Indeed, Sky Sports Italia revealed during the day that the coach had met with his management and that the conclusion had been an extension of their collaboration next season. “ The parties have reached a complete and satisfactory agreement to continue together “, indicated the transalpine media. A news confirmed in stride by Atalanta on its social networks. ” Gasperini, the story continues! Coach Gian Piero Gasperini will remain at the head of the team “, tweeted this evening the Dea. Gasperini will therefore go to the end of his contract, which expires in June 2024. Too late for OM who must find a coach as soon as possible. The Ivan Juric solution will surely gain more weight now.
