“Aquilani, insistent ‘Viola’ rumors”, headlines the Sports newspaper.
The future of the Pisa bench is uncertain, with Fiorentina’s interest in Aquilani. The Viola team could put him back in pole position as a possible coach.
It is uncomfortable to have to talk about the future, therefore the next season, with the current one still to be decided. Three games left to play for Pisa, with the objective of the playoffs still to be achieved (unfortunately, fate is not in the hands of the Nerazzurri team). Despite this, it is already necessary to think about what will happen after May 10th. And the first question concerns the bench. It is necessary to note how Alberto Aquilani and the team had the merit of conquering an audience that now seemed very distant. The harsh protest after the match against Modena (it was February 28th) left room for applause and incitement, which once again became the protagonist both at the Arena Garibaldi and away. Yet, it is still not certain that the coach’s future lies in Pisa. Fiorentina’s interest, highlighted a month ago, never abated, but continued under the radar. With an Italian who is increasingly ready to say goodbye (can he replace Motta in Bologna?), the Viola team immediately considered a list of three coaches, young and with a proactive game: Gilardino, Palladino and indeed Aquilani. The former, however, seems to have refused, instead bringing the contract renewal with Genoa closer. However, the current Monza coach seems to be stalling, perhaps waiting for more attractive offers. Thus, Fiorentina could put Aquilani back in pole position in this three-way race. The relationship between the parties is more than positive, as never hidden by the Nerazzurri coach, and everything leads one to think that a call from Florence would not receive a negative response from him […].
