During ‘Radio Goal on Sunday’ on Kiss Kiss Napoli, the former Atalanta and Napoli coach spoke Bortolo Mutti: “Is Gasperini the right man from whom Napoli can restart? Certainly yes, but I say no because he cannot leave Bergamo (ed.).
Honestly, I would see him well on the Napoli bench. In these eight years he has done an exceptional job on an individual level, molding players, sometimes even creating dislikes. But a coach must be like this, he must not look at anyone, he must be concrete and focus on the objective for the good of everyone. He doesn’t have to seek the consensus of a couple of players, he has to be very linear, and Gasperini is this. Someone who gets to the point, rewards you if you deserve it, if you don’t deserve it he puts you aside and when it’s your time you get back into the game. He would certainly be an important profile for Napoli.
Renewal with Atalanta? He has another year, I think they can talk about it. Percassi’s statements certainly also leave room for a certain openness. I believe that he is the coach who decides more than the club, I believe that is the important step. But I wouldn’t underestimate Juve, because Gasperini grew up in the Juventus youth sector and has a particular feeling with the old and current management. So we cannot rule out this hidden situation which could actually emerge.”
