Gasperini – Pioli (photo Lapresse)
Gasperini-Atalanta, Percassi pushes Napoli away
Gian Piero Gasperini meets the Percassi family: after the triumph in the Europa League against Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen (who could go to Real Madrid in a year…), the technician must decide what to do. The words in the Dublin night had made people fear a goodbye (and three names were going around for possible succession), but the feeling in the last few hours is that Gasp wants to give priority to Atalanta, despite the sirens sounding from many clubs, Naples by Aurelio De Laurentiis primarily. The Goddess is ready to offer a renewal with adaptation, guarantees of strengthening the squad and many new challenges: next year for Atalanta there will be a return to the Champions League (the new UEFA super-Champions) and before that the European Super Cup final against the winner of Real Madrid-Borussia Dortmund (Champions final with Carlo’s blancos Ancelotti very favourites).
Naples, the track leading to Stefano Pioli is (re)heating
If Gasperini wards off Napoli’s advances, the Neapolitan club will not be caught unprepared: he’s in the front row Stefano Pioliwho in these hours has officially separated from Milan (Devil close to Fonseca, but the fans dispute the choice of the Portuguese coach). The Emilian coach is also liked in Türkiye (Fenerbahçe), but the Napoli hypothesis is growing. The Antonio Conte option remains in the background: there were meetings with the former Inter and Juventus coach, but without reaching the point of white smoke.
Thiago Motta-Juventus? Bologna: Italian favorite over Palladino. The De Zerbi puzzle. While Sarri…
Thiago Motta close to Juventus, but who will Bologna have on the bench as they prepare for the Champions League? Roberto De Zerbi it’s a dream, but at the moment it remains more of a suggestion (the former Brighton player could remain in the Premier League where they are looking for top clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United), the paths that lead to Vincenzo Italiano (coming out of Florence and perhaps the real favorite in the race for Bologna), Raffaele Palladino (the Monza coach is also at altitude for the Fiorentina and Torinowhere Ivan Juric will say goodbye and Paolo Vanoli of Venezia is on pole for the granata bench) and Maurizio Sarri (which Newcastle also like in the Premier League). The outsider could be Eusebio Di Francescowhile the hypothesis that leads to the coach of Belgium is less probable, Domenico Tedesco.
Francesco Farioli at Ajax
Among many rumors, one certainty. Francesco Farioli instead is the new coach of Ajax: the Dutch club announced it on its social channels in the last few hours. “Ajax has reached an agreement with Francesco Farioli and OGC Nice for the transfer of the coach to Ajax. Farioli will sign a three-year contract, which will begin on June 11, 2024 and last until June 30, 2027.”. Last season he led Nice to fifth place in Ligue 1.
