Reports: Giuntoli Poised to Become Atalanta Sporting Director

The reported hire signals a reset after a poor spring run.

Overview

Italian outlets report Cristiano Giuntoli has reached an agreement to take over as Atalanta's sporting director, with an official announcement expected.
Football Italia says his arrival would end Tony D’Amico’s four-year tenure, with D’Amico linked to roles at AC Milan and AS Roma.
Corriere dello Sport reports Giuntoli could seek a coaching change, naming former Juventus manager Thiago Motta as the leading candidate.
Yahoo Sports notes Motta remains under contract with Juventus for another year, so any move to Atalanta would require ending that deal.
Talk of a shake-up follows a slump that ended Champions League hopes, with two draws, two defeats, and a Coppa Italia semi-final loss to Lazio.
