Two-peat race vs Italiano for the Napoli bench: Conte and Gasperini leave for different reasons
In the study of the Europa League of Sky Sports, the transfer team has updated on the future of the Napoli bench which now sees a two-way challenge, one of the candidates is the coach of Milan Stefano Pioli. There are still two other profiles close to the Neapolitan bench, but more difficult to reach for different reasons.
The reasons for any choice
Stefano Pioli will conclude its adventure of almost 5 years at Milan with the end of the season. The Emilian coach wants to get back into the game immediately and not wait for the last year of his contract with the Rossoneri. On his side also the offer received from Naplesthe market team of Sky outlined the starting positions in the race for the Azzurri bench: “Stefano Pioli is the one who is gaining the most positions for the Napoli bench. The choice that De Laurentiis considers more measured. Italiano’s candidacy also resists, but these days he wants to remain focused on the Conference League objective. De Laurentiis has always kept him in the front row.”
Conte and Gasperini complicated tracks
It seems, therefore, to create a challenge for two to take Calzona’s place from next season: “Pioli and Italiano are the two with whom Napoli is thinking of opening a cycle”. The coaches of Milan and Fiorentina are not the only candidates to coach the Neapolitans. Harder to get to Gasperini, who created one thing with Bergamo and Atalanta: “Gasperini will be complicated to snatch from Atalanta, so it is considered a very complicated and difficult objective”. Finally, there is the chapter Antonio Conte on which ADL has some doubts about the duration of the project, as well as the costs. This is what the transfer team said Sky: “Conte, De Laurentiis thinks he is the most difficult to go and get. Beyond costs, but more for high demands. Conte has already given his availability. Since Napoli’s is a long-term project, it is scary that Conte has a different approach to management.”
