Atalanta Academy Director Maurizio Costanzi In Running To Replace Roberto Samaden As Inter Milan’s Head Of Youth Academy, Italian Media Report

Atalanta Academy Director Maurizio Costanzi has joined Beppe Giavardi to replace Roberto Samaden as the head of Inter’s youth academy at the end of the current season.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who report that the Nerazzurri could look to bring in Costanzi rather than promoting Giavardi from within.

Samaden is set to step down as the head of Inter’s youth academy at the end of this season, ending a 33-year association with the club, and it is not yet decided who will take his place in the role.

According to the Gazzetta, Costanzi is one possibility, and given that his contract with Atalanta runs out at the end of the current season, he could well be brought in.

The 65-year-old had been the Academy Director at Chievo Verona prior to take over at Atalanta in 2014.

Giavardi, currently the deputy to Samaden, is also in the running should the Nerazzurri decide to promote from within.
