The joints of Bari. From the sporting director to the coach: fundamental choices for next year’s race. While elsewhere they are arranging boxes, a certain wait-and-see attitude can be felt around San Nicola. Of course, it’s no longer a secret that Giuseppe is Magalini he will be – in all probability – the new mind of the red and white market. Officials aside, the diesse box no longer seems to be a reviewable matter. The hunt for the new coach is certainly tougher, given that – for now – Bari is taking advantage of the arrivals elsewhere of practically all the profiles so far linked to the red and whites.
From D’Aversa (towards Cesena) to Inzaghi (towards Pisa), even Donati opted for the experience in Greece. There is no shortage of names destined to be removed from the eligible candidates. A story to follow could be that of Vivarini: the coach, until a few days ago considered Vanoli’s successor in Venice, now seems to be lagging behind Di Francesco. Should the lagoon players actually choose the former Roma coach, scenarios could arise – until now almost unthinkable – on the coach fresh from his experience in Catanzaro.
Furthermore, it was Vivarini himself who publicly announced in recent hours his desire not to continue in Calabria. At this point, a forced stay in the Giallorossi would be difficult. Vivarini, then, would inevitably become a useful name for someone else. Bari, precisely. Unless Empoli takes decisive steps towards Vivarini: speaking of former players, the Tuscan club is letting Davide Nicola go towards Cagliari and will soon have to settle the question of a replacement. A new match it is, in short, on the horizon.
