75th birthday without gift for Aurelio De Laurentiis. In fact, yesterday there was not the expected turning point for Gian Piero Gasperini. The Atalanta coach will meet Percassi again today, but yesterday’s match revealed optimism about his stay considering the ownership’s desire to please the creator of the Nerazzurri fairytale with an extension and also some technical guarantees. The temptation for Gasperini was strong, it probably still persists, but in the end it is more than a feeling that he will choose the family despite the charm of Napoli well expressed in a singular example after winning the Europa League. De Laurentiis, however, is in a hurry and won’t wait any longer: Napoli needs to be relaunched and delicate decisions on the transfer market made immediately.
Everything on Conte to unlock the agreement
The president of Napoli is in a hurry, he wants to recover lost ground and there is therefore a need to start the re-foundation, move from lists and reflections to concrete operations. The work to be done incoming and outgoing is enormous and sporting director Manna cannot wait any longer for the coach to refine the technical project and therefore the choices on the market. Now the objective is to unblock the negotiation for Conte, which has never waned, with the coach who has also taken a further step towards the Neapolitans from an economic point of view. Some programmatic points also need to be clarified to avoid future misunderstandings, but despite Conte’s always high bar, he can be considered favored over Pioli who just yesterday freed himself from Milan by mutual agreement. The next 48 hours will most likely be decisive in understanding who will lead the new Napoli which will be revolutionized in the summer.
