Cagliari, ruthless court to Ranieri: in Rome the CEO Catte and the ds Bonato
No white smoke in the negotiation to bring the coach back to the island. Ballardini and D'Aversa first alternatives to Sir Claudio
Claudio Ranieri (Archive)
Pressing on Sir Claudio, but there is still no agreement. The expected white smoke is missing, however neither Cagliari nor Ranieri are in a hurry. The Testaccio coach will not be on the bench on Monday 26, for the match against Cosenza : the team is in training camp in Assemini and will be led by Muzzi and Pisacane. The parties are trying to close the distances to meet each other. With one certainty, for both: there is the desire to live a second experience together.
The Capitoline summit between Sir Claudio and President Tommaso Giulini was not held today. The patron spent the day after the face-to-face meeting in Cagliari, at the headquarters of his company, Fluorsid, where he met employees and management, urging everyone "to face the new challenges of the future after difficult months due to economic and geopolitical contingencies ».
No mention of the negotiation to bring Claudio Ranieri back to Cagliari, but someone remained in Rome. In fact, the diesse Nereo Bonato and the managing director Carlo Catte were sent to the negotiating table to try to find an agreement, still full of points to be unlocked. And if an agreement seems possible immediately for the technical, managerial and market aspects, on the economic side the handshake between Catte and Ranieri's agents certainly does not seem around the corner.
But agreement is not impossible.
It remains to be understood if Ranieri is really a hot track or if we will have to work on the various alternatives on the plate. Iachini and Ballardini (more than D'Aversa) seem the most affordable.
Sir Claudio, however, has accepted the invitations to return to take Cagliari where it deserves arrived on Unionesarda.it from Gigi Riva and his old vice president Ninnino Orrù. And he could really decide for a choice of the heart , if every piece, both for the club and for him, manages to go to the right place.
Friday could mark a further step forward, also because CEO Catte's presence in Rome can be interpreted in many ways. Also as an attempt to ride the wave of sentiment, which – in this case – could have a greater appeal than the economic one.
