Cagliari's players are already on vacation, yesterday they greeted a cheerful end-of-season dinner at Poetto , but the club must already start thinking about next season, that of returning to Serie A.

Planning is essential and we are in the decisive days for loans, which are due .

There is no doubt about the coach: Sir Claudio Ranieri remains, architect of the promotion, as confirmed yesterday by the coach himself during the party at the Domus : «We want to do well next year too» , he said.

Ranieri will stay in touch with sporting director Nereo Bonato and president Tommaso Giulini to build the squad for Serie A.

The first reinforcement is already in Cagliari, right winger Di Pardo has been redeemed by Juve , as stipulated in the contract in case of promotion. Instead, the situation of Falco , who is a Red Star player, needs to be evaluated. And the players who came out on loan after the relegation, Marin and Walukiewicz, to Empoli are also to be defined. The Romanian should be redeemed by the Tuscans, the Polish defender could instead return to Cagliari, perhaps only in passing.

Holidays yes, but not for everyone. Luvumbo and Makoumbou will be involved with their respective national teams, Angola and Congo, in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers. Lapadula with his Peru will be involved in friendlies with South Korea and Japan, while Obert with Slovakia under 21 will face the same age Austrians and Hungarians.
