Since returning to AC Milan, Massimo Oddo has changed the narrative of the Futuro’s season, and he is potentially having long-term effects already.
There have been a number of faults this season with the Milan Futuro, but the biggest arguably has been the management of the project. This can be viewed in two ways, both in a personnel way and in a coaching way, so let’s take a look.
Oddo has won three games, drawn two and lost three, picking up 11 points in eight games, since joining the Futuro. Daniele Bonera, on the other hand, picked up 22 points in 28 games, which is an abysmal record.
Then, there is the other big issue, which has been the management of certain players, for which Bonera voiced his frustrations. For example, stating that he never had continuity, due to senior call-ups.
Calciomercato.com write today that there may have been truth in Bonera’s frustrations, and the report even questions whether Francesco Camarda has been mismanaged this season, as a result of recent performances.
Since Oddo has arrived, the starlet’s situation has become ‘much easier’, and whilst he still had moments in the win against Ternana, he provided a perfect assist, which won the game. Now, he finds the right path with the Futuro, a continuity in his minutes and position, and this is the ‘absolute impact’ of Oddo, who is changing the future.
Then, for the wider Futuro picture, the coach is picking things up too, he has already collected 11 points this season, and he will hope to keep his team out of Serie D. However, he stated today that they are on the right path, showing he is improving the Futuro as a team, and again in turn, the future.
