It’s a crazy stock market regarding the percentages of the future Napoli coach. Now it no longer changes from week to week but from hour to hour. He seems to ride a roller coaster. The usual names rise and fall without ever stopping. In the beginning Vincenzo Italiano was the most accredited on the Neapolitan bench. Then Antonio Conte took over. Stefano Pioli, however, surpassed all the others because he was done with Milan. Over the weekend, however, Gian Piero Gasperini was all the rage. A significant leap forward. At the beginning of this week, however, the Italian returned to pole. Initially abandoned by the Neapolitan president, he increased his chances after the kind words he had towards the film producer. Adl had mentioned his name during the presentation of the two retreats. He admitted that he wanted it for the Spalletti post but avoided being rude to Commisso. What better opportunity to sign him now that the German coach has already said goodbye to Fiorentina. Regardless of how the Conference final against Olympiacos goes, Italiano has finished his cycle with Viola. And therefore he would be happy to leave Napoli again. With him we could continue with the 4-3-3 naturally improved and revised especially in defense. Yesterday Italiano was awarded in Coverciano during the conference organized by USSI and the Christian Workers Movement and when asked what his future will be he replied: «Now our mind is solely focused on the Conference League final which we want to win to dedicate it to the family of sporting director Giuseppe Barone passed away.”
EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROPE. De Laurentiis, however, has no intention of going unbalanced. He still wants to wait before communicating his decision urbi et orbi. It seems, however, that Antonio Conte slipped away because he was tired of waiting. Gasperini, on the other hand, is focused on the Europa League final and therefore will not think about anything else until then. Pioli, by now, has understood that the film is over with Milan. The Devil has already contacted Fonseca and therefore from 1 July he will be free to make an agreement elsewhere even though he still has another year on his contract. In the end the name will have to come out of this poker of coaches. Then maybe De Laurentiis has some other agreement under the table that he never let out and will surprise everyone. But at the moment the stock market pushes Italiano ahead of everyone. Then maybe tomorrow the percentages will change. But the end of the month is coming and soon the president will no longer be able to hide.
