Arrigo Sacchi believes Antonio Conte would be a perfect coach for Luis Muriel but insists the Colombian has yet to fulfil his potential.

The Atalanta striker has been linked with a move to Inter.

“He has an incredible talent, he has the technique in his blood. However, sometimes he’s too still. He doesn’t move much. You can’t afford pauses in modern football,” Sacchi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Arrigo Sacchi believes Antonio Conte would be a perfect coach for Luis Muriel but insists the Colombian has yet to fulfil his potential.

The Atalanta striker has been linked with a move to Inter.

“He has an incredible talent, he has the technique in his blood. However, sometimes he’s too still. He doesn’t move much. You can’t afford pauses in modern football,” Sacchi told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Everything can be corrected, provided there are will and availability. If one stops learning, he has crossed the finish line. Humility is the basis of every improvement.

“Muriel has incredible talent, but he could have done much more. Have you seen him with the ball at his feet? His technique is amazing. A continuous movement must support that technique.

“He has improved so much in Bergamo, thanks to Gasperini. He needs a good coach, and Conte is undoubtedly suitable.

“I don’t think he can suffer the pressures of the environment, but I don’t know how he can react if he doesn’t always play.”
