Spalletti-Napoli long farewell. After last days' dinner with president De Laurentiis and the mystery that followed, the coach's words on Sunday closed any possible window for the continuation of the relationship. As Il Mattino reports, there will be no further meetings between the two. AdL has decided that if Spalletti wants to take a year off, they will let him go, without considering the automatic renewal of the contract. But if he wants to go to another club, he must negotiate with the Neapolitans to get the green light.
Pending the coach's official farewell, the president is working to find the right coach. A man capable of handling a heavy legacy like that of a title awaited for 33 years. The last idea is the former coach of Spain Luis Enrique.
FROM LUCIO TO LUCHO
Luis Enrique is an old passion of the president and has an international profile. With him, the team would continue to play with the 4-3-3 scheme, with which Spalletti led them to dominate the championship. Thus, technical continuity would be maintained.
LIST
Luis Enrique is part of that list of 'heavy names' that the president of Napoli is evaluating these days. That includes Simeone, who may leave Atletico Madrid. The Argentine may be intrigued by being his son's coach, but the point is that he is paid like no other in the world. Antonio Conte, with whom relations have always been cordial, is a favourite, as is Julian Nagelsmann. The German is under contract with Bayern, who would like 10 million to release him.
"ITALIANS"
A name that has already been contacted in the past and that may come back into vogue is that of Gian Piero Gasperini. The arrival of Atalanta's coach would mean abandoning the 4-3-3. Among the many names on De Laurentiis' notepad is undoubtedly Vincenzo Italiano. The technician led Fiorentina to the double final of the Coppa Italia and the Conference League. And from a tactical point of view, it would allow them to keep the 4-3-3 used this season.
