Torino are reportedly hoping to replace Sinisa Mihajlovic with Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini next summer.

According to La Stampa, Toro will not extend Mihajlovic’s contract beyond this season after a run of just two wins in their last 11 games, which includes a run of four straight draws after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta.

Torino are reportedly hoping to replace Sinisa Mihajlovic with Atalanta boss Gian Piero Gasperini next summer.

According to La Stampa, Toro will not extend Mihajlovic’s contract beyond this season after a run of just two wins in their last 11 games, which includes a run of four straight draws after Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Atalanta.

The Serbian’s deal will renew automatically if the Granata qualify for the Europa League, but the newspaper believes the chances of that happening are “remote at the very least”, while their technical project has “failed to take off”.

Consequently, Toro would be looking at Gasperini to take the reins once the season is out, with La Stampa going as far as noting that President Urbano Cairo and sporting director Gianluca Petrachi “talked at length” with the Atalanta Coach after the game between the two sides.

Although the former Genoa and Inter man still has two-and-a-half more years left on his contract, the dream of bringing him to Turin would be ‘alive’.
