Italian Gian Piero Gasperini (Atalanta) will become coach of Andre Villas-Boas’ Porto if he wins the elections on April 27 and if Sergio Conceicao does not want to continue his career at Dragao.
The presidential candidate wants the current coach to continue, but he already has a plan B if that doesn’t happen. According to Footmercato, Gasperini fits the profile Andre Villas-Boas wants as a future Dragons manager. Experience and attacking football are the main qualities of the 66-year-old Italian, who has coached Atalanta since 2016. This season, Gasperini crossed paths with Sporting in the Europa League. They faced the Lions four times (group stage and round of 16) and never lost. They won two games and drew the rest.
Jorge Costa for a new direction
If Andre Villas-Boas wins, he wants Jorge Costa to join the board of directors. The former Porto captain and current AVS coach is a strong supporter of the candidate and could put his coaching career on hold to take up a management position at the club where he trained. Spaniard Andoni Zubizarreta has been appointed head of football sports.
