“Toto-coach, meeting with Caserta. At work for Valoti, D’Alessandro and Barbieri”, headlines the Sports newspaper.
The coach’s announcement will be postponed to next week. The two former Monza players will not be redeemed, but negotiations will be opened.
Everything postponed until next week: the choice of the new sporting director and that of the coach of the Pisa Sporting Club. The weekend of the Nerazzurri managers will thus be dedicated to reflections, waiting to decide on the best candidate for the bench and the director’s chair. Since the arrival of Alexander Knaster there have been days of contacts and appointments, the last of which produced the name of a new candidate. Fabio Caserta, sacked in recent months by Cosenza, is in fact the fourth coach who has met with the owners, in addition to Pippo Inzaghi, William Viali of Cosenza and Massimo Donati of Legnago. However, he would be an outsider at the moment, because Reggiana is strong on him and at the top of the club’s preferences there would be mainly Inzaghi, awaiting a response from Pisa in the next few days, while he is organizing his wedding from Formentera. In second place, however, there is Donati, highly appreciated for his work at Legnago and identified as a name that could restart the two-year project by opening a new cycle.
On the director front, however, the names are always those of Renzo Castagnini (Brescia), Giovanni Rossi (formerly Sassuolo), Giuseppe Magalini (Catanzaro) and Mattia Baldini (formerly Sampdoria). The favorite at the moment seems to be Rossi, followed closely by Castagnini and Magalini […].
In these hours, above all, some news has emerged regarding loan redemptions. Pisa would have communicated to Monza their desire not to buy out either Marco D’Alessandro or Mattia Valoti. For both, the Nerazzurri club will reserve the right to return to the negotiating table during the summer, seeking a more advantageous economic agreement with the Brianza team. In fact, the figures established were 500 thousand euros for D’Alessandro and 800 thousand euros for Valoti’s redemption. The Nerazzurri club will instead buy Tommaso Barbieri from Juventus for 2.5 million euros, but Juventus could decide to buy him out for 3.1 million instead.
