Yes, it could be said that Juventus, Milan and Napoli need new, more qualified coaches to prepare for the upcoming season. The reason is, these three teams are performing less than optimally under the tutelage of their current coach.

From the news I know, Juventus is currently approaching the Bologna coach, Thiago Motta. Maybe Motta will be a strong candidate to become the new coach at Juventus. Because from the news that I know, Juventus has now received the green light from Motta, and perhaps Juventus' plan will soon be implemented to recruit Motta as its new coach. Then for Napoli, until now I have not found definite news regarding the potential coaching candidates that Napoli is currently targeting. Maybe Napoli has no intention of replacing the existing coach, because Napoli only recruited a new coach in the middle of last season. So even though Napoli's current performance is not good, it seems that Napoli management wants to give Calzona the opportunity to show his abilities as a coach next season.
Then for Milan, from the news that I know, there are several names of coaches who have the opportunity to replace Pioli in the coaching chair. The names of the coaches are Abate and Fonseca. Maybe these two names will be the strongest candidates to become Milan coach next season.

And regarding Gasperini, in my opinion, it is very likely that he will become a coach for a big team outside Serie A. Maybe in the Bundesliga or Premier League. The reason is that currently he is in the spotlight of clubs in Europe, because he succeeded in bringing Atalanta to become European League champions.

Gasperini has been at Atalanta for 9 years and in fact, next season will be Gasperini's last season at Atalanta because his contract will end in 2025. Therefore, I think it would be very good for Gasperini to stay at Atalanta for one more season and produce good results for Atalanta next season in Serie A and also in the Champions League. However, if there are rumors about Gasperini going to Napoli, to be honest, I also didn't get the news either, but if there were rumors saying that, then I would say it would be very inappropriate if Gasperini left Atalanta and joined Napoli. Because anyway, I think it would be better for Gasperini to be the head coach for another big team and not Napoli. But regarding Juventus, I got one source who stated that Thiago Motta is very close to Juventus, and may have reached an agreement but yes, I also will still wait for the truth.

There were 3 teams that at the end of the season had difficulty surviving in Serie A, Frosinone, Udinese and finally Empoli, and unfortunately Empoli had to face Roma which everyone knows since they were handled by De Rossi. Roma has shown significant improvement,
hope that Frosinone and Udinese beat each other, and Empoli can win against Roma, this is one way for Empoli to survive relegation. Even though it is difficult, the possibility remains, Empoli's fate is in their own hands if they want to survive in Serie A.

I hadnt heard these rumors regarding Napoli and Gasperini, where did you hear it?
Napoli clearly needs to have a good coach, but their president must understand that building good things takes time and consistency. Lets hope he doesnt do anything stupid like he did with Spalletti.
I like Gasperini, he fit good in Juventus too

Gasperini should be retained by Atalanta for the next few seasons because I see that he is good at organizing strategies and even good tactics for his team. Atalanta managed to bring the UEL trophy this season even though they failed in the Coppa Italia, they have shown their abilities against other European teams. like Liverpool and Leverkusen who are considered strong teams in the UEL and they beat them by a landslide score of three goals without reply, it was a difficult job but they managed to beat it.

I think Atalanta should not waste Gasperini as a coach because in the next year or two Atalanta could be even better than this season, being in fifth place this season in the Italian league standings while also taking them to the UCL next season, the competition is quite tight and of course they have to really prepare everything to be able to compete with other great teams in the UCL next season as well as teams in the domestic league next season, Atalanta just needs time to become a strong team next season. Gasperini will definitely succeed in making Atalanta the strongest team next season.

Empoli is going to play the last match against Roma. that’s why I believe there is a big chance that they are not going to win this match. First of all, Roma will have to win this match. There is no doubt about that. They will have to make sure that they get three points and also score many goals in this match and after that, they can wait and see what happens. on the other hand Empoli I will also have to win this match if they want to have any chance at getting out of the relegation zone.

Even if they get only one point from this match you know, it is not going to be enough. But I still believe that they are not going to be able to win against Roma. And there is a big chance that they are going to finish in the relegation zone.

Gasperini has a contract with Atalanta until 2025 and is being courted by Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis. Of course, moving to Napoli was not a wise decision. This is too big a challenge. Napoli is a big team, ready to fire the coach immediately if that person does not bring immediate results to the team. The pressure is great. It will be suitable for young coaches. As for Gasperini, he is 66 years old. He should continue to stay in Atalanta and complete his mission.

Currently, coach Gasperini's squad is ranked in the top 5 of the tournament in terms of market value. They still demonstrate the ability to compete at the highest level. That's enough for Gasperini to thrive in next year's seasons. What Gasperini has done is still more than enough for him to become history, a shining symbol of Atalanta.

In the coming summer transfer window, we're definitely going to see a lot of moves among football managers in Europe because a lot of the top managers have already lost their current job and would leave their clubs at the end of the season. Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini is one of the latest managers who have hinted the media of a possible departure from their current clubs in their bid to join a bigger club. When I read the report that Atalanta manager Gasperini will likely leave the club in the summer, I was shocked to my bone marrow because he just helped the club achieve their greatest football achievement in the club's history. I was expecting him to remain at the club and further build the team with the current players as well as adding few players that'll help them have a good season in the UEFA Champions League competition come next season but surprisingly, the Italian manager will likely join another club.

The coaching market is really in turmoil this season: people are looking for good coaches who are not too expensive given that the teams finances are truly disastrous.
He didn`t say who, but we can imagine by reflecting on which teams need a good coach: Napoli, Milan, Juventus.

Napoli can provide better chance for Gasperini if he wants to aim at a higher level for his coach career as he is no longer young and his coach career will not last for too many more years. Napoli and Atalanta can be considered the same that no guarantee that they can consistently join Champions League. Each season, they have to compete with many other clubs that have nearly similar quality, to be qualified for Champions League.

It's not clear that either Napoli or Atalanta can be strong enough to be sure that they will appear in top four or top five of Serie A season by season. Gasperini will have bigger budget for player transfer in Napoli but challenge will be nearly as same as in Atalanta because of two clubs' quality is nearly the same.

Current standings of Genoa until one match left success lead at 11th position is fantastic achievement behind as promotion team and Alberto Gilardino needed three points on last match against Bologna if won't drop to 12th standings position. But last match seems difficult for Genoa because facing Bologna with impressive performance in this season and success for the first time qualified to Champion League after raising the 3rd standings place. Current position of Bologna not secure yet behind has the same points with Juventus and Thiago Motta has motivate by own self for last three points before leaving his position as Bologna manager after reaching agreement deal become Juventus manager for next season.

Serie A has one match left except with the UEFA Europe League winner Atalanta has one postponed match with potential raise the 5th standings position with one point require at two matches left.

You're right about Napoli's size putting pressure on managers. Its a big decision, especially given Gasperini's current situation. Napoli has superior resources and players over Atalanta. But Gasperini's constructed something exceptional at Atalanta. Teamwork and coherence are hard to reproduce. With Napoli in such trouble, is it time to abandon ship? Managers will feel pressure to turn things around quickly, which is difficult. It depends on what Gasperini loves most: the chance to challenge himself or his stability and success. A true brain-scratcher.

rather it is better to bet on teams that have very clear goals such as Atalanta, Roma and Lazio.
these three teams both have very strong goals when Atalanta must get at least 3 scores in the remaining matches to stay in 5th position because under Atalanta there is Roma who want to catch up on the difference in points and hope to get a ticket to the UCL.
on the one hand, below Roma there is Lazio which only has a difference of 3 points and this means that Lazio also hopes to get a ticket to the European league.

It may seem impossible but for me these three matches would be more comfortable to include on the parlay betting slip because these three teams will most likely be chasing wins in the remaining matches this season.
and for top teams such as Inter, Milan, Juventus and Bologna it seems that one of these matches will provide a few surprises, especially Bologna and Juventus.
or perhaps having other options besides betting on 1x2 such as betting on the total score of both teams would be much more convenient.

Both Bologna and Atalanta are actually safe enough to be in quite favorable positions and both are certain to qualify for the UCL competition next season. Because in Serie A this season there are five teams that will qualify for the UCL competition and in terms of current rankings it is quite possible for Bologna, Juventus and Atalanta to qualify for this prestigious competition. Because Roma will not be able to equal points with Atalanta, especially if Atalanta still has two games at the end of this season which will make Roma stay in the top six this season.

Bologna's position to enter the UCL in the next season is certainly safe. It's just that they need to maintain their best position in SerieA. Atalanta still has two matches left, if they can win two matches, then Atalanta will get 3rd place in SerieA. If Bologna loses or draws, it will likely be in 5th position, because Juventus can win the match against Monza. Automatically Bologna will try to win the match, and Genoa as the host also doesn't want to lose to the visiting team, and they will try to score goals. So the conclusion is, both teams scored goals, or above 2 goals, or one goal in the first half.

Yes, Genoa are playing well this season, especially home games... Bologna also had a great season and even if they lose, they will stay in the Champions League zone... For both teams, this match doesn't decide anything and they can play any way they want... It's probably hard to predict the winner, but I think that Genoa won't lose...

I didn't know about that until reading your post. I did a quick research and saw a source named Football Italia mentioning an offer from Napoli for Gasperini. 

However does he really want to leave Atalanta after winning the Europa League and qualifying for the Champions League? Because Napoli aren't going to qualify for any tournament this season. But if Gasperini wants some challenge and to revive Napoli then I understand him.    If I were in his place I would prefer Milan if they are also interested. I have some special sympathy for them which has remained from the distant past. 

Even before the Covid shit and stuff, they have been one of the best attacking side in all of Italian Seria as they went ahead to score many goals game after game, they have a great style of play but they have sent recent struggles drop all of that with even talks of sacking them current coach if he doesn't improves the squad.
I don't know much about them but against Bayern Leverkusen? That team was organized as they both played watching them backs. A great attacking side like defending very well gladdens my heart.

As for the head coach of AC Milan, he will be parting ways with the club at the end of this season. I was one of them that was so hard on him and wanted him to be sacked but when you look back and check out on what he has achieved for them, you really need to overlook things, but that dont mean that he shouldn't be criticized. He had a poor season and it's good to see he has a good idea about it.

After taking them to the Semi finals in the Champions League Competition, and winning the Seria A Scudetto League Competition. He has done well and we should try to give him credits for the good days.

Moving to Napoli is certainly a leap in Gasperini managerial career, but looking at Napoli current situation, it seems that staying with Atalanta is the right choice. In many ways Napoli is better than Atalanta, but realistically coaching a club that plays in the Champions League is more prestigious than working to manage a club that is in decline like Napoli.

Gasperini has worked hard to bring Atalanta to success for eight seasons, the success he hoped for was only realized this season by successfully winning the Europa League, it really doesn't make sense if Gasperini chose Napoli who failed to win any trophies and left Atalanta who succeeded in achieving success in Europe . However, all decisions will of course be influenced by how much salary Napoli dares to offer Gasperini.

Napoli does have better squad depth than Atalanta, but when there are three coaching changes in one season, of course there is something wrong with the club. It seems that every previous Napoli manager has faced a lot of demands and pressure from club officials. If Gasperini agrees to join, it is possible that he will be fired before the season ends, if he fails to meet expectations.

Genoa is indeed a team that cannot be underestimated. Even on h2h in the last 5 meetings, Genoa is quite superior with 2 wins and 2 draws and only 1 loss. Even at the start of the season, when Genoa visited Bologna's headquarters, the result of the match was a draw. Which means that even then Genoa could overwhelm the home team. And in the final match of the season, Genoa will be the host because the match will take place at the Luigi Ferraris stadium, which is Genoa's headquarters. And maybe this match will be a fierce match and I might also agree that this match could end in a draw. Even though Bologna has now turned into a strong team, I'm not sure they will win this match easily. They might even lose.
