Pozzo-Gotti, ten days and then it is decided whether to renew. Meanwhile, Udinese looks around and probes Maran

by admin

The coach gives priority to Juventus, but has admirers (Parma and Sassuolo). The club is ready to confirm it without any upside requests, which is why it has probed Maran

UDINE. Minus 10. They are not points in the standings. These are the days that separate us from the first possible “G day”, the day of the interviews for the confirmation of Luca Gotti. A label strictly in English, since it will be Gino Pozzo to lead the game, to deepen the conversation with the Contarina technician after dropping the automatic renewal option of the contract that expired at the end of February. Reason? Seeing with what attitude Udinese would have concluded an all in all quiet season (in terms of salvation) already at the gates of spring, a season that, however, is not ending in the best way, so much so that the 5-1 of Naples has irritated not not far from the upper floors of the club.

From this point of view, the repetitive injuries that have greatly reduced the choice options in the hands of Gotti, however, not a little pollute the judgments on the work of the Venetian coach in the requested “qualitative leap” operation, pursued by the company with a certain determination, as evidenced by the early withdrawals – carried out or only threatened – during last April. In short, Gotti must be judged for the salvation mission easily centered and evaluated for what is his first full year as a bench owner, after high-level experiences with the role of deputy or technical collaborator.

Also from a tactical and form point of view, then, we must not draw definitive conclusions: it is not true that it is anchored to the “usual” 3-5-2, against Verona he had tried to draw a really 3-4-2-1 interesting with Pereyra and Deulofeu behind a reference center-forward (Llorente at the time), but already in the interval he paid a pledge to his ailments by losing Pereyra who, returning, never found Deulofeu.

Placed on the balance for and against, Gino Pozzo will then have to check which cards Gotti has in his hand. Recently, after the match against Bologna, he clearly explained that, out of a debt of gratitude and fairness, he will wait to speak with Udinese before making any decision. Because it is clear that, after this season, the Contarina coach has admirers outside Friuli. It is said, for example, that Parma probed the ground to get back from Serie B immediately, as required by the ambitious American property owned by Kyle Krause, but Sassuolo would also have the name of Gotti on the notebook to replace Roberto De Zerbi destined to the Ukrainians of Shakhtar Donetsk, even if it would not be the first of a list led by Vincenzo Italiano who, however, would have to pay a rather high penalty to free himself from La Spezia.

So it is likely that, after the technical-tactical assessments, the discussion between Pozzo and Gotti will shift to the economic implications. What would the Juventus owners want? Renew at the same figure as last year? Difficult. And what could the coach ask for? A two-three-season contract? In short, this could also be the stumbling block and it is clear that in this perspective Udinese would have already explored the possible alternatives. On the market there are many former players (including Walter Mazzarri in some ways, given the experience at Watford) or technicians out and about but still under contract, such as Rolando Maran back from an experience that is anything but exciting with Genoa, but should tear an agreement outstanding with the president Enrico Preziosi for another year of 900 thousand euros per championship. –
