Empoli has chosen Davide Nicola’s successor. Roberto D’Aversa will be the new coach of the Tuscans, called to a new miraculous salvation. After having examined several names, president Corsi decided to entrust the bench to the former Lecce coach, who had shown good football with the Salento team in the first round. All that is missing now is the official announcement, which will presumably arrive after the issue of Nicola, Cagliari’s betrothed, has been resolved.
After the choice of the coach, it will be time for Empoli and its new sporting director Gemmi to think about the transfer market. There are still no certainties about the names, only indiscretions, but it is clear that the new entries will be made in agreement with the new coach. The first need will be to find external attackers who can thrive with the offensive game proposed by the new coach. Empoli must deal with their economic possibilities, which is why – as always – the management will try to make a virtue of necessity, preferring mainly players on loan or at low cost. Without considering any exits, necessary to financially support the new season.
Empoli will be an intriguing but very difficult market, where courage and ideas will be needed.
