By Monday a whole series of clarifications on A’s technicians also from Zanetti, the Venezia coach who evaluates the offers
UDINE. It will be a clarifying weekend, crucial hours to know the future of the Udinese bench, where Luca Gotti has more than one hope of being reconfirmed, even if the “sentence” will come only after the expected interview with Gino Pozzo who in London is meditating on the moves to be made before focusing on the market which, according to the media pressure on his two Argentine jewels, will be first out and then in, even if it is logical that the pieces have already been moved on the chessboard of the future purchases, so as not to find themselves displaced once the big pieces have been sold.
At the level of technical choice, Udinese has always been used to making their own squad by seizing opportunities before obeying a tactical choice, so it is useless to try to combine the rumors of the arrival of another coach with the form of the team to come. . That will be the subject of the field, of a preparation, after the syncopated times of the Covid emergency, during the next summer it will return to being more traditional.
Having said that, we must instead go find the pieces of the mosaic of the Serie A benches to actually understand what are the possible moves related to Udinese. At the temporal level, for example. Gotti, it is not a mystery, represents an alternative for Bologna in the case Sinisa Mihajlovic decides to change the air (we are talking about Lazio, but not only) and will meet the rossoblù ad Claudio Fenucci Monday.
From the following day, therefore, the phone of Walter Mazzarri it could ring like that of Contarina’s technician: he has already been there as deputy to Roberto Donadoni and the current ds Riccardo Bigon in 2003 he was a Virtus Bassano player when Gotti was sitting on that bench.
Intertwining. And opportunity. Because Gotti is waiting for Udinese, he has said several times that the priority is Juventus, he has already made it known that he would accept another annual contract at the same figures as the season just ended, but he cannot wait indefinitely. That’s why Gino Pozzo’s call will arrive by Monday.
And by Monday he should announce his decision Paolo Zanetti, newly promoted with Venezia in Serie A, holder of a contract that will expire in 2023 thanks to the automatic renewal option linked to the category jump but which, obviously, has a sort of gentlemen’s agreement with the management of the lagoon to free themselves and listen to the offers of the suitors, among which there is also Udinese, together with Sampdoria (which however seems to be oriented for a return of Marco Giampaolo) and Hellas Verona, just abandoned since Ivan Juric, finished in Turin: the yellow-blue dream is to bring the former captain back home Vincenzo Italiano, but the current is really crowded, considering the rumors related to Sassuolo and also to Lazio, without considering that you have to pay a “penalty” of one million to free him from La Spezia.
Italian was last year what Zanetti is now in the panorama of the emerging players who landed in A. This is why the coach who brought back to Venice in A enjoys a lot of attention and, according to the rumors that bounce from the orange-green circles, could really decide to change air. When? By Monday of course. In short, it will be a weekend of reflection at different football latitudes.
Then the real market will break out. Yesterday Udinese officially announced the return of the goalkeeper Daniele Padelli, but it is a move that we anticipated a couple of weeks ago. He arrives on a free transfer after his experience in Inter and has signed a two-year contract: he will be the deputy. Although it is not yet known if the owner will still be Juan Musso.
