Vagnati and Cairo
Torino played the last match of the last championship on May 26th and it was known that Juric would no longer be the coach next season and that the chosen one to replace him was Vanoli of Veneziaother possible candidates were mostly bar talk. It was also known that Vanoli was involved in the playoffs to bring the lagoon players to Serie A and that to snatch him from the orange-green clubwith whom he still had two years left on his contract, it was necessary to pay 1 million eurosthe termination clause that was included in the coach’s contract in case of landing in the top series. On 2 June Venezia beat Cremonese in the second leg of the playoffs thus guaranteeing access to Serie A. The June 3 if Torino had paid 1 million to Venezia they could have announced That Vanoli he was the new coach and instead nothing. On the contrary, Negotiations began to lower the amount of the release clause which is still going on today, June 16th. In Serie A only Cagliari, which is negotiating with Nicola, Empoli and Venezia, which seems to be reaching an agreement with Di Francesco, in addition to Turin have not yet announced who will be the coach for next season.
With all due respect to Cagliari, Empoli and Venice though Torino who finished 9th in the last championship at least on paper it has higher ambitions than those of the other three clubs, two that were saved and one newly promoted, so It’s absurd that even today he hasn’t made the name of the new coach official when he could have done it on June 3rd by making the famous 1 million bank transfer to Venice. Furthermore, Torino already had an agreement with Vanoli. All of this push and pull is delaying be theofficialization of the retreat dates in Pinzoloit should be from July 14th to 28th, both above all starting negotiations to strengthen the team.
The first match of the new season will be the Italian Cup before Ferragosto and the new championship will start on the weekend of August 17th so there isn’t that much time. Even more so since they will be there changes in the squad and that there is a very high probability that Good morningthe pivot of the defense and the most important player, is sold to raise cash and not only he could say goodbye. On the bright side at least Masina was bought out by Udinese, for him the million was paid. This though it is not enough even because with the European Championship underway, many negotiations will be postponed until the end of the international competition and the the final it will be there July 14tha day that should coincide with the start of the grenade withdrawal.
The delays in handing over the players to the manager on duty are proverbial on Turin’s part as is leaving the squad incomplete and these were causes that had heavy repercussions on the team that failed in recent seasons to go beyond mid-tableeven if the blame was then placed on the coach and the players who will have had it, however, never like the club. Maybe tomorrow the long-awaited announcement will finally arrive, but this will not erase the delays that went into bringing Vanoli to Turin: absurd and without justification.
