VIDEO | It’s Antonio Conte-day, the dinner in Rome waiting for the official announcement: Naples is trembling

The final formalities in the Filmauro offices, then dinner in a restaurant in the capital

ROME – It’s Conte-day. Today, in all likelihood, Napoli will announce the new coach. Antonio Conte landed in Rome yesterday in the company of the sporting director of Neapolitan team Giovanni Manna. The former Juve duo reached President Aurelio De Laurentiis in the Filmauro offices, where the final contractual formalities were completed, before starting the new technical management. In the evening, a dinner in a restaurant in the capital, but tight-lipped when leaving. No statement but the images are worth more than words: the former national coach leaves without saying anything, President De Laurentiis comments on the press silence imposed by the collaborator with “Eh but it’s hard with these…”, referring to the journalists.

A sign that the mood, after the “yes” from the most desired and sought after coach, is decidedly relaxed. Three-year contract at 6.5 million euros per year.

THE STAFF

On the technical staff, the coach’s fudicious men. Starting from the team manager: Lele Oriali; the deputy will be Cristian Stellini. And then the two athletic trainers Costantino Coratti and Stefano Bruno, who also followed him in his last adventure in London, as manager of Tottenham. Francesco Sinatti should be confirmed as head of trainers and Alejandro Rosalen as goalkeeper trainers.

ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THE PAST AS A JUVENTINO

There is satisfaction and a desire for redemption after a disastrous season, which culminated in tenth place in the standings and exclusion from the European cups. And the aggravating circumstance of the shield sewn on the chest. Antonio Conte is the right name to relaunch the project and bring back enthusiasm among the fans. Great anticipation in the city for the first words as a Neapolitan, despite some recalling the ‘Juventus-like’ exit of the now new Azzurri coach.
