I still think we should get rid of him. I know people are impressed by some pre-season games, but when is the last time Sensi impressed in Serie A? Probably the first 8 games of the 2019/2020 season. It's been 4 years since then. Granted, I didn't watch him at Sampdoria or Monza that much but I would assume if he had been impressive at either of those teams, either they would have tried to bring him back or there would be some other interest from another Serie A team? My last memory of Sensi at Monza was him getting injured in the game against us last season 20 minutes into the game. I get that he hasn't missed as many matches due to injuries as he did with us, but it seems after his injury against us last season, he only started 1 of the next 8 matches, even though he wasn't officially 'injured'. I'm guessing it would have to do with fitness issues/concerns. Whenever I've seen him, it looks to me like he plays as if he's afraid of getting injured - not going into challenges 100%, etc. From what I remember, his last injury with us was Inzaghi bringing him on against Sampdoria, and us being left with 10 men as Sensi got injured in a fairly regular 50-50 challenge.
Monza ended up getting Gagliardini on a free transfer after all.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love nothing more than having Sensi with a redemption arc, but I put more trust in his Serie A performances than in a few friendlies.
