During ‘Campania Sport’ on Canale 21, the journalist Umberto Chiariello spoke about the next Napoli coach: “The only ongoing negotiation is, until yesterday with little confidence, with Antonio Conte.
Pioli, Italiano and Gasperini? I understand that all three have indicated their willingness to talk about it and to come to Naples. Gasperini said that he is interested in coming to Naples, ‘We’ll talk about it’. Obviously when the season is over. Pioli, who was waiting to understand whether he found confirmation at Milan or not, now knows that he doesn’t have it and could find the negotiation with Napoli interesting if he solves the problems with Milan. He could also stay out for a year and take Milan’s money, if he doesn’t come to an agreement. Italian is the only one with whom we could start a negotiation on the fly, but he is the fourth choice because he doesn’t fully convince De Laurentiis.
Which is why, at the moment there is only one real negotiation and three availability. Until the other day I was pessimistic, because I saw that the distance was not easily bridged. After the match against Bologna I’m starting to be a little more optimistic, because De Laurentiis is clear that now he absolutely has to do something important if he doesn’t collapse. The situation is very serious.”
