The French trainer enters the catalog of future prospects to replace Spalletti in the Italian champion
Rafa Benítez and Sergio Conceiçao lose integers, while the Italian option remains open
There are still no clear indications of who will lead the Serie A champion next season. After the friendly march of Luciano Spallettifor days the Italian press has been speculating about the wishes of the president Aurelio DeLaurentiis. The last name to join the list has been that of rudy Garciawho is on the market after being dismissed by Saudi Al Nassr for his poor results and worse relationship with Christian ronaldo.
The French coach, who already directed Roma in Italy between 2013 and 2016, was among the candidates to relieve Gennaro Gattuso in 2021 (although finally the chosen one was Spalletti) and the leader of the ‘azzurra’ entity could dust off this option, according to what the Italian newspaper ‘Corriere dello Sport’ reported on Thursday. The aforementioned media also pointed out that the final decision will be made before June 27.
Of all the names that had come to the fore, there are several who have run out of options due to their style of play. The president wants a coach who is firmly committed to the 4-3-3 that has led to Naples to win the league, so Raph Benitez, formerly of the club, falls from the list. Lovers of the defense of three center backs are ruled out until further notice, as are those who are satisfied with a 4-4-2, such as the coach of the Port, Sergio conceicao.
Among the possible applicants appears the figure of the coach of the flower, Vincent Italiandespite flirting with the 4-2-3-1 and having a contract in force until 2024. The coach’s options seem less viable Robert Manciniwhich has a verbal agreement with the Italian Federation, and Luis Enriquewhose priority would be to train in the Premier League.
