With Inter and Naples Sicure, many suitors for the two places that can also change the future of their technicians
Seven brides for two brothers, some will remain a spinster. Seven brides for two seats in the Champions League, since those of Inter and Naples has already been contracted and practically vanished the dream of UEFA ranking for an extra team: the weddings, as in the film, are four. Seven brides, two almost out of the games, Fiorentina and Milan, and seven technicians looking for author. A sprint beyond the Champions League for Gasperini, Tudor, Italian, Baroni, Ranieri, Palladino and Sergio Conceiçao: their future could depend (also) on the cup that will conquer or not.
Enigma Gasperini
–
The situation is not the same for everyone. The most complicated case is that of Gasperini who would still have a year in the Nerazzurri but has anticipated that he will not renew: does it mean to make another year expiring? Or go away immediately? And would a season be acceptable for Atalanta or better to set up a new project? Impossible to exclude a rethinking today, going to the Champions League could perhaps, much perhaps, make the technician change. Speech on the opposite for Ranieri who has repeated his disengagement from the bench in all possible ways: he will supervise, he will choose the future, in any case they will thank him forever for having brought a Rome taken to the rear thus high, even if the Champions League is difficult to grasp. Italian is the only one without problems if the abundance is excluded: the contract expires in 2026, Bologna would extend tomorrow and the first contacts have been there, also because the suitors are not lacking for sure.
coaches in the balance
–
Europe that counts is definitely the portal of the confirmation for Tudor at Juve: it would be difficult to send it away after having raised a dramatic situation, reporting the logical analysis in a team that had everything to qualify, but played with syntax and grammar (or perhaps with the small chemist). Barons are also played, theoretically confirmed by Lotito a week ago, but questioned in recent times for some less continuous results: for him, beyond the Champions League, to dream there is the Europa League that passes tomorrow from the Bodo. Finally Palladino and Sergio Conceiçao, ranking in hand unquestionably far from a Champions League that was not in the sights of the viola. But by Milan, yes: the impression is that the evaluation on the Portuguese will be done at the end. Don’t go to Europe, any cup, it would be the end.
Juve OK calendar
–
Six days from the end, the calendar can help decipher the ranking. Atalanta and Juve, in addition to being the lead, also have an easier theory path. Gasp must meet Lecce, Monza, Genoa and Parma. Tudor faces Parma, Monza, Udinese and Venice. Some of them will still fight for salvation but the distance from the great has gradually expanded, as shown by the results. Atalanta and Juve can conquer these 12 points and reach 73 and 71 respectively. Which means, for Bologna, the first pursuer, to collect at least 14 points: but Italian must meet Inter, Juve, Milan and Fiorentina, four clashes directed by the unwritten outcome.
Rome, what a path
–
Lazio seems better than Bologna: with Genoa, Parma, Empoli and Lecce the 12 points are within the reach of Baroni. Juve can decide his future and that of antagonists: if he will see it with Bologna at 35a and Lazio at 36a: crucial direct clashes. The worst calendar if Rome finds it: Inter, Fiorentina, Atalanta, Milan and Turin after the next round, apparently less complicated, with Verona. Ranieri, winning them all, would reach 72 points: it may not be enough. It does not take a calculator to understand that the maximum goal of Fiorentina (71) and Milan (69) seems to be realistically the Europa League: a prize for Viola, a result that the Rossoneri should welcome with open arms for how the season has been put.
Not just UEFA ranking
–
Other variables come into play in the cup discourse. Better not to count too much on the UEFA ranking: Spain is less than two points from the arithmetic security of second place which guarantees the fifth of the Champions League. But for Italy there is another way: Lazio and Fiorentina are in the running for Europe and Conference League and could expand our starting contingent ’25 -26, today seven teams, up to nine.
