He spoke live on Radio Punto Nuovo, during ‘Punto Nuovo Sport’ Carmine Esposito, coach and great friend of Luciano Spalletti: “Luciano left with regret. When he can, he will always return to Naples, even as a tourist. He remained very attached to the city. I’m curious now to see the film and what Luciano is like behind the scenes, as I’ve met him and he’s a softie.
When he talks about Naples he is a different person. We all saw Maradona’s applause, now I hope that whoever takes his place will do something up to his past. I’m honest, though: I would take a coach who would move away from the ideas we saw with Luciano. The important thing will be to restore enthusiasm to the people of Naples and give a true identity to this team, because the squad to make a new move is there even despite a few goodbyes. My favorite? Right now, however, I don’t think Gasperini will leave Atalanta at the peak of his cycle. Conte is a top player, but Pioli needs to be evaluated carefully: everyone is waiting for Antonio, but with Stefano we can open an interesting cycle.”
