Torino and Sassuolo are each looking for their next coach and are focusing on the same profiles: Alberto Aquilani and Ignazio Abate, authors of a good season in Serie B. A tactical and strategic duel begins to attract one or the other to the Serie A benches.
In the hectic landscape of Serie A, the transfer window for coaches sometimes presents unexpected scenarios. This is the case at the moment, where Torino and Sassuolo are engaged in a real battle to secure the services of two very prominent coaches: Alberto Aquilani and Ignazio Abate.
As Gianluca Di Marzio explains, the two clubs, with distinct projects, find themselves facing a daring cross-casting. Aquilani had a remarkable season on the Catanzaro bench, as did Abate with Juve Stabia in Serie B. Both almost reached the elite, seducing with their playing philosophy and mentality.

On the Torino side, the position became available by strategic choice: the club did not renew D'Aversa's contract despite a season considered solid. For its part, Sassuolo must replace Grosso, who will join Fiorentina. For several days, the leaders of the two clubs have successively met Aquilani and Abate, causing speculation and uncertainty about the outcome. Not long ago, the most credible option sent Abate to Torino and Aquilani to Sassuolo, but today everything still seems possible. The roles could be reversed or everyone could choose according to their own preferences and projects.
This suspense should find its epilogue very soon, with decisions expected shortly. This double casting illustrates the excitement of the coaching market in Italy and the strategic importance that clubs devote to it to build their future success.
