The coach has given his availability to Udinese in view of the match on the future. The property reflects on the last season and evaluates some profiles, from Zanetti to Maran
UDINE. Luca Gotti said yes, but unlike the Man Del Monte in the old commercial, we now have to see what the “owner of the pitch” will say, given that in these hours a confrontation is taking place within the Udinese club on the fate of coach who has signed the last two Juventus saves.
But let’s start from the fact: the Contarina coach respected his word, communicating to the club that he would accept a renewal offer, even if the contract would only be annual with an option in the hands of the owners for another single-digit season. fixed, as it was until the end of February, when the option expired.
In a nutshell, Gotti would have made Udinese understand that he is willing to get back into the game, also convinced that the end of the season just ended, beyond the minimum goal achieved (the permanence in the top flight) and the chain injuries that influenced his work, did not fully satisfy the club and the environment.
In short, call it a debt of gratitude or awareness, it is certain that the Venetian coach is now waiting for an answer from the “button room” about his future before possibly deepening the attention he has received in recent months, when he spoke to rotation of interest from Parma, Sassuolo or Sampdoria, all looking for a new guide, albeit with different ambitions.
Gino Pozzo is reflecting and in the next few hours, taking advantage of the meeting in person with his father Gianpaolo, on the occasion of the family celebrations for the 80th birthday to be held in Barcelona, he will make a decision on the future of Udinese.
The doubts are linked in particular to the negative trend of the last eleven days (only 7 points, the result of eight defeats, a draw and two away wins with the relegated Benevento and Crotone), when instead the club expected a qualitative leap from the a group that, on the other hand, seems to have surrendered on their backs to a salvation virtually achieved in March.
At the level of alternatives, however, not even the names of the old warhorses are fully convincing, such as Rolando Maran, still under contract with Genoa, or Davide Ballardini, who is also leaving the club of president Enrico Preziosi (today the meeting ), or even Leonardo Semplici that Cagliari would like to change to make room for Ivan Juric, ready to farewell to Verona, and also courted by Turin who will greet Davide Nicola: it is a battle, the one between the grenades and the Sardinians, with blows of millions. It starts from two to rise, according to the latest rumors.
Certainly there will be free seats in the wild waltz of the benches that is about to begin in Serie A. But to find an alternative to Gotti Udinese could end up fishing in B, given that it continues to be associated with the future of Paolo Zanetti, in the running for the last promotion place in the play-off final with the Cittadella which on Thursday evening will experience its own epilogue after the first leg match won by the lagunari away 1-0. Zanetti has not yet talked about his future with Venice, he remains focused on the final act of an exciting season, but even within the orange-green club they know that he is not lacking in offers from upstairs.
