Reports: Giuntoli Poised to Become Atalanta Sporting Director
The reported hire signals a reset after a poor spring run.
Overview
- Italian outlets report Cristiano Giuntoli has reached an agreement to take over as Atalanta's sporting director, with an official announcement expected.
- Football Italia says his arrival would end Tony D’Amico’s four-year tenure, with D’Amico linked to roles at AC Milan and AS Roma.
- Corriere dello Sport reports Giuntoli could seek a coaching change, naming former Juventus manager Thiago Motta as the leading candidate.
- Yahoo Sports notes Motta remains under contract with Juventus for another year, so any move to Atalanta would require ending that deal.
- Talk of a shake-up follows a slump that ended Champions League hopes, with two draws, two defeats, and a Coppa Italia semi-final loss to Lazio.
