Oscar Arias's dismissal has led to a great casting of possible candidates for the sports management position at Sevilla. The club has a clear idea of the profile they are looking for, which is someone who has clear similarities with Monchi's formula, who established the foundation of Sevilla's golden age.
In fact, to maintain this line, it was thought that Arias would be the continuity, with the stamp of the house, of his work, since he was under the mandate of the Sevillian during his time at the club. They took on his personal bet, which can already be classified as an absolute failure and has led to his hasty departure from the position of sports director. On this occasion, Sevilla will repeat selection criteria, but will focus on a profile with a proven track record on the field.
For this cause, familiar options such as Antonio Cordón or Toni Muñoz have already been mentioned. However, Estadio Deportivo points out a possible option that has emerged from Italy, which could take over the position. Thus, the current manager of the projects at Genoa, Omar Milanetto, could be the definitive candidate. The Italian has proven to have a great market vision, incorporating players at a low cost that have had a total contrast with their performance, surpassing all expectations, and which is in line with Monchi's actions.
The article mentions cases like Diego Perotti, Izzo, Iago Falqué, Tomás Rincón, Pavoletti, or Gio Simeone in recent years as examples of his success. More recently, we have the addition of Adel Taarabt, who has rediscovered himself as a footballer, where he achieved his arrival from Benfica on a loan with a purchase option of only €300,000, while there are already rumors of offers to the Italian club that would be around €10M. Will Sevilla bet on this new path?
