Speaking to the microphones of Campi Flegrei TV, Carlo Nicolinimanager of Shakhtar Donetsk, spoke thus about De Zerbi and the Ukrainian market: “De Zerbi? I was his first coach, I know and knew both his human and technical qualities. He proposes proactive, winning football. Then it is logical that we they also want the players to win. It’s normal that he is a coach who is coveted by everyone. He has shown that he knows how to manage hot spots, he did well at Shakhtar, despite the difficulties given by the situation in the city.”
“He in Naples? He has already been in Naples as a footballer, I’m sure he loves the city and knows De Laurentiis. He would be perfect for a place like Naples, he offers very proactive football. He knows how to manage the place and get the players to follow him. I think he Napoli needs someone like him to shake things up.”
“Shakhtar jewels? It won’t be easy to keep our strongest players, offers are arriving from attractive leagues for top-level players. All our players are on the notebooks of the big teams, we know that they are paid attention to. We don’t keep anyone, but we have many at home high-level young people”.
