Report: Milan eye Atalanta chief

By Football Italia staff

Milan are reportedly looking at bringing Atalanta sporting director Giovanni Sartori to the club next year.

Milan have struggled for continuity in recent years, changing sporting director in each of the last three summers.

Ricky Massara replaced Leonardo, who in turn took over from Massimiliano Mirabelli, but Tuttomercatoweb writes there could be yet another shake-up.

As per the website, the Rossoneri would like Sartori to oversee their transfer dealings for the 2020-21 campaign.

The 62-year-old came through the Diavolo’s youth system as a player and was the brains behind Chievo’s historic promotion to Serie A in 2001.

His 22 years of service to the Flying Donkeys was followed by a move to Atalanta, where he has similarly overseen huge success, with the Dea breaking into Serie A’s top four and qualifying for the Champions League last 16.

Replacing him in Bergamo could be Stefano Capozucca, who recently left Genoa.
