Francesco Modugno, journalist from Sky Sport, spoke to the satellite broadcaster to take stock of the situation regarding the coaching question: “There is a list that we continue to keep, of at least four names, barring any surprises. De Laurentiis has the quality of surprising us and therefore goes always taken into account in this too. There are four situations with different prices for a Napoli who is choosing but who must also be chosen. He is in a hurry, a certain urgency, but he knows he cannot make a mistake in choosing the coach they are those: Pioli, Gasperini, Italiano and Conte.
Napoli has more or less presented a draft offer to each of them. A chat, some up close and some on the phone, everyone had a chat with Napoli. This is the case for Pioli, who has given his willingness to listen. It’s like this for Gasperini, but at the moment the story of him and Atalanta is being played out and so here we have to wait before talking to him and understanding if he wants to leave Atalanta; it is a revolutionary idea that intrigues De Laurentiis.
Then there is Italian, which for De Laurentiis would remain the right choice, an old choice. And then there is Conte, for whom De Laurentiis has not resigned himself, but here are the numbers, the figures, the strong impact from all the points of view that De Laurentiis evaluates. De Laurentiis’ hope is that Conte doesn’t have many other options to then try to converge in the negotiation.”
