Among the top ten of the championship only Milan and Atalanta have not changed Perso Antonio Conte, many listed technicians have returned from Allegri to Mourinho
All together passionately. Let’s have fun and get excited with the upcoming traveling European Championships, but someone has already finished his tour and behind the scenes of great football a Serie A is being born that promises fireworks. At least on the benches of the big names, after a revolution in the name of restoration. In fact, among the top ten teams of the last championship, only two (Milan and Atalanta) have confirmed their coach. A record never seen before for a whirlwind of news with all the most successful coaches of the recent past returning to the track.
It was a short step from flashback to mass return. There is not only the return of Mourinho on the Italian scene, he was absent from the Inter triplete of 2010, but also those of Allegri and Spalletti (who have not been for two years) up to Maurizio Sarri. The last piece has gone into place, with the expected signing of the former Juventus player to leave Lazio after a year of silence. It will be a challenge in the challenge for a tournament that finds 8 league titles in one fell swoop (6 from Allegri, 2 from Mourinho and 1 from Sarri) and who knows what could have happened with Antonio Conte – reigning champion – still at Inter.
In the triumph of the ancient Tuscan school, incredibly absent last season (Semplici arrived in Cagliari in February), Spalletti stands out in Naples and the reappearance of Sarrismo. Pulling the last puff of his cigarette after coffee at the end of lunch, Sarri took his pen and signed a contract that had been waiting for an autograph for five days. No more quibbles to settle or reflections to make: go on suit. Never the president of Lazio, under the heading of coach, had paid so much an employee: two-year contract of just over 3 million net per season plus richest prizes (almost 600 thousand in the case of Champions placement and 1 million for the Scudetto) with option for the extension until 2024. “For me a contract is a handshake, for others … Verba volant, scripta manent”, came out yesterday from Lotito’s mouth, while Sarri was on the motorway, during the party for the promotion to Serie A of Lazio Women: any reference to the divorce with Simone Inzaghi (new Inter coach) did not seem random at all. Satisfied in fact in hiring his staff of five trusted men (deputy Martusciello and technical assistant Ianni in the lead, the latter famous for the fight with Mourinho in a Chelsea-Manchester United in 2018), and reassured in words on the market that will set up the sports director Tare (Luis Alberto and Milinkovic-Savic remain, Maksimovic and Hysaj will arrive), Sarri starts again from Lazio.
A Tuscan born in Naples on one of the two shores of Rome, a man with declared political leftist sympathies on the bench of a team with some fringes of the supporters of diametrically opposed thinking. A marriage, at first sight, more than singular. Yet, from an environmental and technical point of view, with more than a few bases to be able to function well. The Commander will want a rematch after being sacked by Juve despite a still hot championship. Sometimes they come back, but he couldn’t miss it. –
