Tony D'Amico stays at Atalanta: no return to Milan as manager

Tony D'Amico will face Milan as an opponent on Sunday, in the Easter postponement, but it is unlikely that he will return to the Rossoneri Meazza any time soon, as a manager of the next Diavolo. Atalanta has no intention of separating from its sporting director, contractually bound until 2027. The 45-year-old manager from Pescara has been working very well for three years in tandem with CEO Luca Percassi - with whom they have made the signings of Ederson, Hojlund (incoming and then outgoing with a capital gain of 60 million), Kolasinac, Scamacca, De Ketelaere, Retegui - and is considered fundamental in the Nerazzurri management organization. As was also reiterated on Tuesday in the press release with which the 54-year-old Englishman John Murtough was presented, hired to cover the role of Director of Global Development. "Mr. John Murtough will be coordinated by the Sporting Director, Tony D'Amico, and will strengthen an area that aims to further develop its international vision", wrote Atalanta in the press release, reiterating in black and white the desire to continue with the ds and also underlining the intention to look even more carefully at British football. For incoming operations, but especially outgoing ones, thinking of Ademola Lookman, in Liverpool's sights, Ederson who is sparking a derby in Manchester between United, who have already moved to have him, and City, and the other top British clubs who are also following the various Carnesecchi, De Ketelaere and above all the bomber Retegui. Murtough will therefore also be a reinforcement for the British market, but under the direction of D'Amico and Luca Percassi.Fab.Car.
