De Laurentiis: “Luis Enrique will not come to Naples”. Here are the three names on the blue president’s list

NAPLES – Out one. The difficult negotiation to bring Louis Enrique to Naples seems to have already vanished and the chances that the former coach of the Spanish national team will be the heir of Luciano Spalletti on the bench of the new Italian champions. I announced it in person Aurelio De Laurentiis during an interview with the Tg3 Campaniaa few days before the scudetto party at Maradona which will be broadcast live on Sunday from Rai. “He is a great coach, he has done very well at Barcelona, ​​but I think he has it in mind Premier League. It should be remembered that we compete with many leagues that are more attractive than ours, such as the English one. I can tell him that there is fog there and there is no Gulf, that the food is not as good as we do, but more than this… There is an economic problem, there are more attractive resources there”.

The casting will therefore have to focus on other objectives and the president has also outlined their profiles. “The 4-3-3 is our formation, absolutely to be continued. We are evaluating technicians suitable for the 4-3-3, with our extraordinary players who we want to keep. I have evaluated a dozen profiles who can try or are trying with this module, we are verifying who may be the most suitable to continue the cycle. I still want to sow and I need the support of all Neapolitans. When there is a change there may be moments that shouldn’t scare, because everything is needed to improve and therefore we will continue being the only football team that has been in Europe for 14 years and this says a lot about the choice of the many coaches. My advantage is that I don’t know how to play football, but I know how to be an entrepreneur. I let myself be carried away by sentimentality, even if I am sentimental, but I have to be rational to the max and I have to verify, speaking, interviewing and understanding with everyone, what is happening. Of course, I can also make mistakes. For now we have made mistakes a few times and I hope that this time too we’ll hit the spot.” The names that circulate are those of Sergio Conceicao (Port), Italian (Florentine) and Thiago Motta (Bologna). After Luis Enrique’s refusal, however, there is a need for a pause for reflection.
