UDINE. Luca Gotti is not out yet, Rolando Maran it’s not inside yet. Udinese continues to leaf through the daisy, so much so that now only the foreign track is missing to return to the game of three cards, given that one (card), the one that bore the name of Paolo Zanetti, since yesterday he is definitively out of the Juventus route, considering that the Venetian coach will not only remain at Venice after having brought him back to Serie A, but has decided to extend the contract for a further year, despite the jump in category had brought the deadline to 2023 . For the next three seasons Zanetti will be under contract with the orange-green club, the pressing of the company carried out by the director of the technical area, Paolo Poggi, has given the desired results.
The other newly promoted coach from Serie B on which the market’s attention is focusing is Alessio Dionisi of Empoli. President Fabrizio Corsi does not intend to let go of him to look for another technician capable of obeying the playing philosophy of the Tuscan club which, it will be good to remember, has launched into orbit Maurizio Sarri and regenerated Marco Giampaolo, now both ready to sit down again on another bench, respectively that of Lazio and that of Sassuolo. It deals with.
And he also treats Sampdoria to have Dionisi: if it were to break up, compensation would be needed to appease Empoli’s anger. The point is that in the Dorian house one would not want to exaggerate with the disbursement to the coach voice. For this the Sampdoria through the ds Carlo Osti they probed Luca Gotti, still waiting for a clarification with Udinese on his future, when the second week after the end of the championship is waning. So far only interlocutory messages between the club and the Contarina coach, so much so that there is talk of a postponement to next week, with Gotti who obviously – after hearing the name of Zanetti first and of Maran now – can only take precautions by answering calls of the companies concerned, including those from abroad.
Here is the key word. Assuming that Udinese is evaluating the costs of the two-year operation on Maran (given that the Trentino coach is still under contract with Genoa for another season for about 900 thousand euros) and the salary of at least four staff members, the deputy Christian Maraner, l’analyst Gianluca Maran (the son) and the athletic trainer Roberto De Bellis, the man of the Chievo miracle twenty years ago with Gigi Delneri on the bench.
But this is perhaps an expense that Udinese had already budgeted, given that Gotti, at the end of the season, was immediately told that the work of the staff had not been fully appreciated, in particular as regards physical preparation. , edited by the “prof” Gianni Brignardello, a detail that had displaced the Contarina coach who unfortunately always considered inevitable and the chain injuries accused by Udinese, almost all traumatic. Perhaps this will also be discussed again in the meeting which seems to be scheduled for the next few days.
What he will do in the meantime Gino Pozzo? With Xisco Muñoz on the bench after promotion to the Premier League with Watford, according to a file labeled “Confidencial” by the internet portal Entrenadoresfutbol.es he will not even have to decide who will be the next Granada manager. The Granada? Yes, according to the Spanish media, due to some unpaid unpaid disputes at the time of the sale of the Andalusian club, Pozzo still has the right to speak in the club’s board of directors, but this time he will not intervene on the choice of the coach, a topic on the agenda from those parts, since a week ago Diego Martinez has decided not to renew his contract with Granada after having brought him back to the top flight, after having snatched the pass for the cups, after being released in the quarter-finals of the Europa League with Manchester United (and having eliminated Napoli). Grew up in the second team of Sevilla under the ds Monchi and with First Emery head coach, Martinez was interested in Valencia who then opted for the former Getafe Pepe Bordalás, while al Getafe arrived Michel, which many will remember as a player at Real Madrid.
Now he is out for a walk, who knows if someone who chose him three years ago for Granada told him about a convincing project at Udinese.
