Andrea Berta He will leave Atlético de Madrid on June 30, when his contract ends. This is the chronicle of a death announced by OKDIARIO on April 24. The sports director does not maintain a relationship with the coach from the previous season and All planning was done by Carlos Bucerowho is now in charge. The Italian, who arrived at the club in 2013, He could even bring forward his departure to Januarysince the situation is of maximum tension. To replace him, the club plans to recruit a discreet sports director since power was transferred to Bucerowhose relationship with Jorge Mendes It’s patented.
Since being promoted to the role of sporting director in 2017, he has started in the field of scouting– The Italian had been the executioner of the entries and exits in the first team, and although his empathy with Simeone had never been reciprocated The truth is that for a long time they endured episodes more or less close together until Two seasons ago, the relationship started to deteriorate to the point that they hardly speak to each other anymore. The final detail was when this market would end Simeone publicly thanked Carlos Bucero for “good work” held this summer, clearly showing that Berta had taken a back seat. Bucero was in fact the one who negotiated the withdrawals and signings, of course in collaboration with the coach.
The presence of Bucero Jorge Mendes’ zone of influence increases considerably at Atlético. The Portuguese representative, who experienced stages of deep disagreement with Gil Marin, intervened this summer in operations such as Sales Joao and Samu Omorodion, as well as when signing Gallagherand it appears that this will continue to be the case in the future. However, there has already been some small discussions between the CEO and the new general director of football, who joined the club in January with Oscar Mayo (in the Revenue and Operations department), and everything will be determined by the results.
In the room, the Mallorcan Mateu Alemany remains awaiting events, whose signing Andrea Berta aborted last season because he knew that the arrival of the executive would mean his immediate demotion, and whose personal relationship with Miguel Ángel Gil is excellent. Alemany would only come to Atlético with full powers and that would mean relegating Bucero, a decision currently impossible but which could perhaps happen in the future if the team’s trajectory continues to deteriorate, since the signing of the former Mallorca, Valencia and Barcelona player is the one of the rare cards that will allow red and Remains to play the white CEO.
