Mid-body: Atlanta regards Pioli as the first choice for the new coach, Mota & Surrey is the alternative target

According to the Milan Sports newspaper, Atlanta regards Pioli as the first choice target for the new coach, with Mota and Sarri both alternatives.

Atlanta's current coach Gasperini is about to leave the team and he is preparing to coach in Rome. Atlanta has also begun to look for a new coach and hopes to determine the new coach as soon as possible so that it can start transfer operations this summer. Atlanta wants to make a decision by this weekend, and its first choice is Pioli.

Pioli won the Saudi team Riyadh in September last year and signed until June 30, 2027. However, Riyadh failed to win the championship this season, and Pioli's coaching position is unstable, so he may choose to return to Serie A to coach. In his past coaching career, Pioli has been able to prove that he can adapt to the three-back and four-back formations, and can create offensive tactics according to the characteristics of the players in the team. Therefore, Pioli was able to adapt well to this Atlanta team left by Gasperini.

In addition, Pioli has served as Milan's head coach and led Milan to win the 2021-22 Serie A championship, which is also an aspect that Atlanta appreciates him very much. In addition, Pioli won the victory in Riyadh and also managed a top superstar like Ronaldo. Atlanta believes that if he comes to coach the team, he can also control the locker room and allow everyone to perform at the best.

The Milan Sports Daily pointed out that Atlanta also has a plan B while connecting with Pioli, that is Mota. Mota's coaching performance at Juventus this season was not ideal and was dismissed halfway through, but Atlanta likes Mota's football philosophy and believes that as long as Mota is given enough time, he can create an ideal tactical system in Atlanta. Mota has been coached by Gasperini in the past, so some of his tactical ideas are inherited from Gasperini. In addition, if Atlanta can coach Atalanta for next season's Champions League, this will make Mota who will start over again more motivated.

And Surrey is currently only the third choice for Atlanta. Lazio is now closer to asking to go back to Sarri to coach. Lazio has had an interview with Sarri's agent this Thursday. But as long as Lazio and Surrey have not officially signed, Atlanta still has a chance. Finally, "Sports of Milan" said that Paladino may also be a surprise, and he is preparing to resign as head coach of Fiorentina and face new challenges.
