After a mixed season, Tottenham Hotspur fired head coach Ange Postecoglou.
A 17th-place finish was far too unsatisfactory for the eventual UEFA Europa League winners.
After his admirable stint at Brentford, Thomas Frank takes over as the new Spurs head coach.
While it is a surprising turn of events, it is an intriguing avenue for the North London side.
In this article, we explore how Tottenham could set up next season.
For this analysis, we will reference how Brentford operated under Thomas Frank.
After a season full of drama for AS Roma and their supporters, I Giallorossi finished the season in fifth place in Serie A; an achievement whose merit goes to Claudio Ranieri, who led the team during a complicated period, saving them from playing to avoid relegation to playing for European spots.
With Ranieri’s spell coming to an end, Roma announced that he would remain their trusted director and senior advisor to the ownership, and Gian Piero Gasperini would be appointed as Roma’s new head coach.
This appointment was made following advice from Ranieri himself.
He believed in Gasperinis ability to continue what was built this season and in his potential success with the team, given his extensive Serie A experience.
In fact, Gasperini does not only have extensive experience in Serie A but also success in most of the clubs he managed.
The most notable success remains his latest long journey with Atalanta, where he developed a revolutionary style of football and helped the team become one of the top teams in Serie A after they used to play in mid-table at best during the early 2000s.
During that period, Atalanta alternated between playing in Serie B and Serie A.
With Gasperinis arrival, he succeeded in turning the team into a much more powerful one that battled for Europe without fear.
Although things did not instantly improve for Atalanta, they kept progressing year after year until they reached UEFA Champions League football on numerous occasions and finished third in Serie A many times.
Moreover, he led them to winning their first-ever European trophy in 2023/2024 by winning the UEFA Europa League title.
In this tactical analysis article, we will focus on presenting Gasperini’s preferred playing system, his footballing philosophy, how he can apply it to the current Roma team, and which players will be better suited for his system.
