"So, instead, you kept almost all the big names and entrusted them to a coach, Juric, who went on a dangerous downward spiral that's costing you dearly in terms of standings and credibility. We couldn't have imagined this from a genius like Luca Percassi. Perhaps he was badly advised by Director D'Amico, who, in the summer, was thinking more about Milan (but it went badly for him) than about choosing a new manager."
"Too many players have reached the end of their tether, and many signings aren't Atalanta-worthy. Atalanta sends packages, not receives them. Instead, for example, with Krstovic, they fell head over heels into Corvino's trap. We didn't want Atalanta to be stuck in the Champions League for the rest of their lives, but going from a top club to a team that loses 0-3 at home to a newly promoted team is a huge leap. Something in the thinking went wrong."
Tony D'Amico was widely linked to AC Milan's sporting director role before the summer but did not join. Igli Tare was interviewed early and eventually appointed after a delay caused by Giorgio Furlani preferring other candidates and several refusals from other targets. Fabio Paratici was a close option and Milan pursued him and Atalanta alternatives. Michele Criscitiello criticized the decisions, claiming Milan retained most big names, entrusted them to coach Juric, and then suffered a downward spiral harming standings and credibility. Criscitiello suggested D'Amico focused on Milan over selecting a manager and that several signings and strategic choices were flawed.
