“Catanzaro, tight for the new sporting director. Polito remains in pole position over Vaira and Romairone”, headlines the Southern Gazette.
The re-foundation of the Giallorossi enters its hottest phase. As a coach Aquilani is always the first choice.
The evaluations on the next sporting director of Catanzaro continue and today they could reach the decisive point, that of the choice. President Floriano Noto and his brothers, Derio and Gino, began the week as they had ended the previous one: weighing the pros and cons of a decision that will have cascading effects on the management of the transfer market, of the team and, at least in part, will not be able to not influence the other big issue still unresolved, the new coach. Magalini’s successor, who has not yet been made official by Bari, will have to give an opinion on… Vivarini’s successor, for the moment to all intents and purposes the Giallorossi’s coach. It is clear, then, why the property is proceeding with leaden feet: there is the awareness that time is starting to run out, but the need to not be able to make mistakes is also clearly present.
If Noto had a blackboard in his office there would always be three known names: Ciro Polito, Davide Vaira and Giancarlo Romairone. And if he had also wanted to draw up a ranking on approval, all three would have occupied, at different times, first place: since they were different profiles, each had their own reasons for being the favourite. Between Saturday and Sunday the overtaking – perhaps decisive – was made by Polito, but the forty-five year old Neapolitan must terminate his contract with Bari (theoretically valid until 30 June next year) before signing with another club. The matter doesn’t seem to have to drag on, perhaps it will be resolved in these hours, otherwise Catanzaro could easily turn towards the other two managers still in the mix. The excellent impression that Vaira left in Noto in last week’s meeting should not be forgotten, nor has the direct path towards Romairone completely disappeared, also taken into consideration because it is part of “a Giuntoli area” which enjoys the utmost respect. In short, reversals cannot be ruled out, but Polito seems to have now become the most accredited candidate […].
