Serie A Managerial Merry Go Round

[ScoRoss]

Some serious changes for the top teams for next season

Inter - Conte Leaves

Milan - No change. Pioli Stays

Atalanta - No change. Gasperini Stays

Juventus - Pirlo Sacked

Napoli - Gattuso Sacked

Lazio - Inzaghi Leaves

Roma - Fonseca Sacked

Sassoulo - De Zerbi Leaves

Sampdoria - Ranieri Leaves

Verona - Juric Leaves

 

Of the top ten teams in Italy last season, two will have the same manager next season.

Even for Italy, pretty wild for one off season.

Spalletti back in Italy to manage at Napoli, his 8th club managed there.

Gattuso is already at his 5th when he gets to Fiorentina  (Palermo, Pisa, Milan, Napoli).

Gattuso has had a very strange managerial career. Didn't look like he was any good really in his first three spots, goes back to Milan's youth team, thrust into the first team role and has been more than capable since. He took over Milan in a crisis moment and started their turnaround, andto a lesser extent turned around Napoli as well (Ancelotti was sacked after almost going two months without a league win). A year and a half at each club, and could have rightfully carried on at either club. But seems like Napoli were getting rid, even if they had secured Champions League football.

Spaletti has a track record of getting clubs back into the Champions League. His second spell at Roma had them qualify in back to back seasons, as well as his time at Inter. He's just always been seen as a very good coach, but not one likely to challenge for a title. Which kinda shows how Napoli have regressed in recent years. I think a lot of people would have liked to see a return for Sarri but, after his time at Juventus, that might not be possible any more.
