Massimo Cellino wants a Leeds United reunion with Gaetano Berardi at Brescia.
That is according to Bresciaingol, who report Cellino is considering a move to bring Berardi to the Italian club in some sort of coaching capacity.
It is said Cellino wants to offer Berardi a role in Brescia’s youth team setup, potentially as an assistant to Luca Belingheri, who is currently the manager of the U19s.
Berardi called time on his playing career in June earlier this year after a final season in the second tier of his native Switzerland at AC Bellinzona.
But undoubtedly the most enjoyable days of his time as a player came at Leeds as he made 157 appearances across a seven-year spell with the Whites.
Cellino wants shock Leeds reunion with Berardi
Cellino was, of course, the man who brought Berardi to Elland Road back in 2014, with the 35-year-old one of a handful of his signings who can be considered a success.
Upon hanging up his boots earlier this year, Berardi spoke of his desire to get into coaching in an interview with BBC West Yorkshire Sport.
He revealed that he would be completing his coaching badges in Italy before assessing what his next step will be, leaving the door open for a Leeds return.
However, it appears as though Cellino could well be opening the door to his first job in coaching as he ponders a move to bring him to Brescia.
Though working under Cellino is never easy, working in a strong youth setup like that would be a decent step in his career.
