Yeah, Mauro Bianchessi, who was head youth scout was sacked and left on Friday. Rumours are there were disagreements with Galli as part of the problem. Not too pleased to hear this, as I thought Bianchessi was one of the few people seemingly doing a decent job in recent years, he was the one who identified guys like Donnarumma, Cristante and Mastour (not sure, but maybe Locatelli too). At Atalanta prior to Milan, he helped them get Gagliardini, Conti and Caldara as a few examples. A couple of changes have also rolled around this in the youth sector, Bianchessi the most notable name.
