Luis Enrique, the idea of ​​a new Napoli coach – Corriere.it

The latest idea responds to the name of Louis Enrique, an exotic and impactful choice. The phone of the president of Napoli Aurelio De Laurentiis hot. Probe, call, evaluate possible replacements for Luciano Spalletti without letting yourself be overwhelmed by events. The profile must be the right one, after the Scudetto that of the coach is a choice that can’t go wrong. The heavy legacy. So far – and it must be acknowledged – he has nailed almost all of them. We are for in another phase and Aurelio must take into account a whole series of details functional to the continuation of a cycle that loses the protagonists of the Scudetto enterprise. The coach and sporting director (Giuntoli) are the heart of the team, of the one that has won but above all of the one that is called to repeat itself: continuity represents the number one criterion. The Napoli squad will have to maintain its value and if possible increase it: whoever arrives will have to maintain a game plan and also an approach to the locker room similar to that seen in the last two years.

De Laurentiis has a fervent mind: in love with his ideas and pursues them, he likes them Gasperini of Atalanta – he had already offered him a contract in the post Mazzarri, then the negotiation foundered – it was inevitable to think about him again. The choice is stimulating but would mark a tactical discontinuity given the creed of the current coach from Bergamo (from the 3-man defense onwards). Vincenzo Italian, another technician also already on the agenda, as a profile he would be closer to Spalletti’s ideas. The Fiorentina coach is ambitious, in the final of the Conference League as well as the Italian Cup, and fascinated by the idea of ​​Naples. De Laurentiis probed Ramadani, the powerful agent who manages it together with the Neapolitan Diego Nappi. The new card Thiago Motta of Bologna, which many other clubs like. The president of Napoli appreciates the game but above all the character profile: the decision-making, the dedication and also the confidentiality of the man.

The question is hot but not defined, because Aurelio likes to amaze, he likes to try even impervious roads to get to coaches who are not only good but have top-level palmars. This happened with Rafa Benitez and with Carlo Ancelotti, the coach with the most titles on the bulletin board. The attempt made with Luis Enrique goes in this direction. We are still in the preliminary phase, no offer has been formalised. Stay the Klopp dream but also the desire to persuade a friend Antonio Conte: De Laurentiis would be willing to make an economic sacrifice for him. The former Tottenham player should certainly lower his demands but the idea of ​​a new all-Italian challenge could balance out the economic renunciation. The no by Roberto De Zerbi been cashed in, but the ideas are not exhausted. Aurelio likes surprise shots: this time more than ever he would like to do it.
