Hours of waiting at Cesena, even Sportmediaset in its ‘hour by hour market’ talks about “a meeting between Roberto D’Aversa and Empoli in view of next season”. “He could be Nicola’s replacement on the Tuscan bench.” An indiscretion that had already been launched on Sunday evening on the website of sports journalist Alfredo Pedullà. A move by the coach that risks complicating the plans of Cesena who, as is known, had an agreement practically already made with the former Lecce coach, which only had to be put in black and white.
D’Aversa is the profile chosen by Arctic to replace Toscano who is ready to say yes to a rich contract from Catania, after having resolved the severance issue with Cavalluccio. But at this point D’Aversa could be attracted by the possibility of remaining in Serie A, at which point the Bianconeri should turn to another coach. The former Lecce coach had also visited the facilities of the Juventus club last week.
Sunday evening Pedulla wrote: “Empoli have evaluated both Viali (who for 4-5 days, as reported, has been in dialogue with Reggiana while waiting for the black and white) and Marco Giampaolo, but D’Aversa’s profile is the one that – at least in these hours – like it more. Now the coach will have to decide: D’Aversa has always put Serie A as a priority, he had had discussions with Venezia, but for days he has had a total agreement with Cesena (one year plus option) which does not it was formalized because the Romagna players did not terminate the contract with Toscano (who has been in talks with Catania for days), he also visited the Cesena sports center, but Empoli is really courting him, he will have to be the one to take stock: prudence is needed, but the temptation is strong…”.
