“Can we still talk about technical planning and the future when a single negative result and the public discontent end up heavily influencing the owners’ decisions?”. This question arises Ivan Zazzaroniat the beginning of his fund present today on the front page of the Corriere dello Sport and concerning the thorny situations of many Serie A coaches.
A striking case of failure to plan is linked to De Rossi: “On 25 June last Friedkin renewed his contract until June 2027, guaranteeing 3.2 million per season, and after 4-4 games, moreover without the transfer market on the pitch , they torpedoed him on the basis of a report that was not particularly correct or punctual: trust is the only gift you don’t receive twice.” His successor Juric doesn’t seem to be doing any better: “It’s not difficult to imagine that if he had lost in Monza on Sunday, today he would be near Nervi or in Croatia”.
Zazzaroni then talks about Fonseca: “Having arrived at Milan after Lopetegui had been dismissed by the fans and Allegri had no longer heard from Cardinal, the Portuguese showed the face of the best occasions in the most complicated weeks, confirming that he possessed great elegance, as well as fragile society behind us, too fragile and not very centered”. Closing with coaches continually compared to their predecessors: “Motta-Allegri, Italiano-Motta, Fonseca-Pioli, Baroni-Sarri. These too are unlikely: the signing campaigns substantially modify the structure of the teams. However, they are part of the game (to the massacre) and they cannot be eliminated.”
