Napoli coach, dream of Antonio Conte, but watch out for Gasperini. Four coaches for the bench
Napoli draws 2-2 at home against Frosinone which sounds like an almost irrevocable defeat in the Champions League comeback (even looking at fifth place, Roma is at +6 with one game less, Atalanta at +1 with two matches to recover) and is now looking to a future that will see the now former Italian champion team out of the top competition European.
The club led by Aurelio De Laurentiis is reorganized for the future and, after the arrival of Giovanni Manna (from Juventus) as manager of the technical-sports area, the front of the bench needs to be fixed. Who will take over from Francesco Calzona (arrived in February to ferry until the end of the season after the dismissals of Rudy Garcia first and then Walter Mazzarri)?
The name of Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano has been around for some time, a profile that Napoli likesbut on which the Neapolitan club has not closed. The hypothesis/suggestion linked to Stefano Pioli resists if he were to leave Milan. And it's no secret what the dream would be to bring Antonio Conte in the shadow of Vesuvius. But in these hours the candidacy of a fourth coach in the pack (re)emerges: Gian Piero Gasperini. De Laurentiis has always liked the coach of the Goddess and he touched Naples ten years ago when Mazzarri seemed about to leave (he then renewed). Now, according to Corriere dello Sport, Gasp's name is back in the spotlight ahead of next season.
Reading the poker of names, Napoli would also be at a tactical crossroadswith Italiano-Pioli more faithful to the 4-man defense and Conte-Gasperini more devoted to the 3-man defence. But beyond the formations, 4 high-level profiles from which the Neapolitan club could restart with momentum.
