“With all due respect to a club like Roma and its owners, the last few months have been symptomatic of great confusion. After renewing De Rossi’s contract, he is changed and then a third coach arrives.” Thus to TuttoMercatoWeb.com the former sporting director of – among others – Palermo and SPAL, Fabio Lupo.
Now Ranieri has arrived in the Giallorossi…
“A choice shared I believe by the whole world. No choice could have been better, given his abilities and his connection with the environment.”
Which strings will he have to touch?
“I expect him to normalize the situation. Once this is done, he will choose inspired by common sense which is his main characteristic.”
What did Juric do wrong?
“I don’t think he was wrong. De Rossi’s change was inopportune, any coach except Ranieri would have found it difficult. Juric found in front of him a mistrust linked to those who left.”
De Rossi’s mistakes?
“He was given no time. He arrived last year and I think he did well. He was taken on a project to build something but didn’t have the time. Look at Milan instead: Fonseca has been confirmed. No blame can be attributed to De Rossi.”
Serie B: Frosinone tries to get back on top. Pisa, Spezia and Sassuolo have separated the others.
“Frosinone made a careful transfer without being caught up in the desire to move up at all costs, but up to now it has still been a negative surprise. However, it is sensational that three teams separated themselves in a significant way. The advantage accumulated by Pisa, Spezia and Sassuolo is notable.”
The disappointments: Palermo, Sampdoria and Cremonese.
“Palermo is still unable to express the game due to the quality of the players they have. But Dionisi will be able to square the circle. The square demands, moans, but Dionigi will manage to resolve the situation. In Cremona we witnessed something strange: hiring a coach for five days and then retracing one’s steps was a strange move. Sampdoria, on the other hand, is paying for a general situation and it is clear that there are differences between the expectations in accordance with the name of the club and the value of the staff. Sampdoria is a good team that can think about the playoffs.”
Can Palermo do without Brunori? Dionisi is not fielding him as a starter…
“Brunori is definitely a case. He is a player who has done very well and is the symbol of Palermo’s rebirth. He had a troubled summer. The Brunori we know is certainly missing from this Palermo.”
Director, are you back on track?
“I continue to tour and monitor championships. I want to return but not at all costs. I want to make a careful, targeted choice and not the result of the moment and the desire to return combined with my passion for this sport.”
