Cairo says that Vagnati is working on the new technician. Casting in three, the Gilardino and Gattuso hypotheses fade away
On Saturday 4 May at the inauguration of Robaldo camp 3, Urbano Cairo finally removed all doubts about whether or not Ivan Juric on the Granata bench for next season. “Contracts end at a certain point”, commented the granata patron. Davide Vagnati will remain, according to Cairo “He will renew the contract and is thinking of something, I’ll leave it to him, when he has made his assessments he will tell me”. That something that Vagnati would be thinking about clearly refers to the new Turin coach for next season. Among the names that have circulated around the Granata scene, three remain very hot and two have practically disappeared. Let’s go into more detail.
Vanoli and Italiano fighting for their goals
Among the names currently linked to the Turin bench is that of Paolo Vanoli. A former collaborator with the national team, at Chelsea and Antonio Conte’s Inter, he began his career as head coach in club teams in 2021 at Spartak Moscow. From 2022 he will coach Venezia and the direct passage to the top flight will be played in the last round of the Serie B championship. Another is to Vincenzo Italiano. The Fiorentina coach expressed great esteem for Urbano Cairo a few months ago. The Italian’s contract with the Viola expires in June, but it is still early to talk about the future, as he himself stated on the eve of the first leg of the Conference League semi-final with Bruges: “It can’t be a topic for me. I’m on the eve of a very important match that we all care about. Bruges exists, the rest is just chatter: if we listen to everyone…” .
Palladino: “I will talk to Galliani at the end of the season”
The Italian wants to leave his team in Europe and perhaps take away the satisfaction of lifting the Conference League, which faded in the final last season at the hands of West Ham. Raffaele Palladino remains among the favorites for the Turin bench. The Monza coach seemed close to Lazio. A trail that then faded with the arrival of Igor Tudor on the Biancoceleste bench. At the end of the match against the Capitoline club, Palladino spoke about his future: “Future? I will speak with Galliani at the end of the season, we have a meeting at the end of the championship. Now the focus must be on the team, I want to concentrate 100% on the boys. All personal discussions take a back seat.”.
Gilardino towards renewal, Gattuso in Arabia
Instead, he definitively disappears Alberto Gilardino. It was the coach himself who confirmed his stay at the helm of Genoa in the press conference prior to the away match with Milan. “We have found a verbal agreement with the company. We’ll see each other again in the next few days. I’m happy and I’m happy. It has always been my desire and my will – said Gilardino, who added – I had spoken about it to the company in the past few weeks. There is the desire to give continuity to the work done with my staff with the team. Details are missing but there was a very positive verbal agreement”. The idea of another former AC Milan player on the Turin bench should also go away, it’s about Gennaro Gattuso. The former Marseille and Valencia coach is considering a move to Saudi Arabia. According to what Fabrizio Romano reports, there is already an offer on the table.
