Salta Coinceção, DeLa: «I chose another» – Sport

“The new Napoli coach is already found and we will announce him within a week.” Words and music by Aurelio de Laurentiis that breaks the silence to the microphones of “Maisfutebol”. The same patron of the blue club then reveals: «Jorge Mendes he is a true friend and we have spoken several times in the last three months and he has proposed 3-4 coaches without ever starting any negotiations. I’ve never talked to Coinceção. It’s false”. And so the track that everyone took for sure yesterday ran aground in less than 24 hours: the former Lazio and Inter player remains at Porto and will not return to Italy to coach Napoli. So who will be the new coach who will have to bring the Azzurri back to the Champions League? Many names are circulating these days and De Laurentiis despite having revealed that he has already chosen the replacement for Gattuso – the Calabrian coach will sit on the Fiorentina bench next year – he did not disclose the name. The list of names, however, has now narrowed after Coinceção is definitively skipped. The dream, certainly not hidden, of President De Laurentiis is to have Massimiliano sit on the blue bench Merry. De Laurentiis in fact still hopes that the coach will not go to Juventus or Real Madrid. But the film producer is waiting to understand Max’s choice, who in turn is waiting for Juventus to decide if they want to continue with Pirlo or less. Also because Allegri’s return to Juventus involves half a revolution from a corporate point of view. The Livorno coach knows very well the amount that De Laurentiis has proposed to him and the two have gone beyond the details and if he does not go to Juventus or Real Madrid, Allegri will sit on the blue bench. Among other things, De Laurentiis himself, in order to guarantee himself Allegri, would be ready to give up excellent sales by drawing on the treasure accumulated over the years. What if Allegri says no? The alternative is Galtier. The coach who led Lille to win the title in France up to three weeks ago had a verbal agreement with Nice for € 3m a year. Yesterday morning the French club was also ready to announce Galtier as the new coach, but something changed as the coach accepted De Laurentiis’ proposal for a two-year deal with an option for the third year. But we will have to wait another week, as the Italian patron said.
