Yesterday was another interlocutory day regarding the coaching issue. The white smoke was expected yesterday, but we will have to wait a little longer. Little, today, should be the decisive day. Cesena and Roberto D’Aversa are now finalizing the details of an agreement that has been on the table for days. The fears of a last-minute blitz by Venezia who turned to Vivarini or, alternatively, Di Francesco have also disappeared. A two-year contract is ready for the former Parma, Sampdoria and Lecce coach. As for the coaching staff, deputy Salvatore Sullo will certainly follow him in Romagna. Then, there is the other question: Domenico Toscano. In the sights of several B and C teams, Bari, Salernitana, Padova and above all Catania but in fact still under contract with Cesena, after the automatic renewal following the promotion until June 2025, a contract that must be resolved in some way . The Sicilians offer him two years at 130 thousand euros per season, with Cavalluccio he currently has an agreement worth 200 thousand euros, 70 thousand euros so it is the difference that the Calabrian coach would not want to give up and would ask Cavalluccio as severance pay to terminate. In reality he has never yet spoken to sporting director Fabio artigianato Domenico Toscano, if there have been any contacts, but to the coach’s agent. Cesena, in any case, should not oppose the coach’s possible request. The fact is that in the party game the result is a stalemate situation where everyone waits for the other to make the first move. Meanwhile, Fabio artigianato must also start thinking about the market. If in the end, as seems almost certain, D’Aversa arrives, but he will only be able to sit on the Juventus bench on the fifth matchday due to the four-match ban he received last March 11 for the headbutt given to the Veronese striker Henry, Cesena will adopt the 4-3-3. Especially in defence, the lineup will radically change compared to the two-year period created by Toscano, who was fond of the 3-5-2-1. We will therefore have to evaluate who is in the house and whether they can adapt to the new patterns and then look for the right interpreters on the market for the new creed and in any case there will be at least 7 or 8 new arrivals in the Juventus house.
Also regarding the arrival of Corrado Di Taranto as general manager, the situation is almost defined but probably on standby until next week, when the arrival of the American patron Joe Tacopina is expected in Ferrara. At Spal currently Di Taranto is the only manager in service, in fact there is also a sporting director missing, and the landing in Italy of the blue and white number one should unblock the situation with the former general manager of Trento and Chievo also finally able to sign the agreement with Cesena.
