Juve, the front-runner is Mancini
His sponsor is Nedved
Delneri is by now at the end. The hunt for the new coach is on, and the one at Man City remains the favourite. Soon will be a meeting in Portugal with Villas Boas, and Conte awaits
MILAN, April 26, 2011 - Lodi has nothing to do with it. The 95th-minute free kick in Juve v Catania changed the standings and the prospects for the Bianconeri, but not the future of Gigi Delneri. Unless there is a drastic reversal (four wins and fourth place), the coach's adventure in Turin will come to a close at the end of this season. Despite the fact that his players speak highly of him (Buffon yesterday: "We have to win against Lazio on Monday to convince the club that the coach we have is a good one and deserves to stay. I have a very warm and friendly rapport with him."), his fate seems sealed. And the race for his successor is wide open.
mancini — In pole position is Roberto Mancini. His biggest sponsor is Pavel Nedved, whose role at Juve continues to grow in importance. Nedved is actively working not only in the management of the club, but also for the team, which is exactly what Andrea Agnelli had in mind when he invited him to join the club's board of directors. It won't be easy to prize Mancini away because the spending power of Manchester City (regarding both their market budget as well as the coach's salary) is not comparable to that of Juventus and the possible (and probable) success in the FA Cup would increase his standing in the future choices made by the club. Mancini's arrival would also be difficult for the Bianconeri fans to swallow; Saturday night chants against the former Inter coach were heard. After a horrible season and with the need to create a calm atmosphere before the next one in the new stadium, the thought hasn't escaped both Agnelli and Marotta that the arrival of Mancini could be, at the very least, risky. But Nedved, however, has spoken with his former Lazio team-mate, while Marotta and Paratici have discussed it with his agent De Giorgis.
villas boas — A rather interesting bet would regard André Villas Boas, with whom there has been continuous contact. It's only been at a distance for now, but next week talks could become substantial with a trip from Marotta and Paratici to Portugal. The problem is the buy-out clause (over 10 million to be paid to Porto) as well as foreign competition (Liverpool and other English teams), rather than that coming from Italy (Roma).
Antonio Conte has been successful with Siena. LaPresse conte — In the meantime there's another well-defined possibility: Antonio Conte, with Siena and about to win his second promotion to Serie A, would be the ideal coach to step into Delneri's shoes. The impression is that Conte has got closer to the Juventus bench over the last ten days and support from the fans would naturally be an additional plus. Not because the club must bend to the will of "la curva", but because Conte's arrival would guarantee a calm essential for the working atmosphere, most of all in the first few months of the new season.
the european effect — Among the alternatives we cannot forget Walter Mazzarri, although he seems a bit of a long shot. When choosing the next coach another aspect should not be underestimated; the failure to qualify for the Europa League would rob Juve of an important stage. It wouldn't make any difference to Conte, but it probably would to Mancini and Villas Boas - although Agnelli wants to begin a winning cycle and the choice made for the bench will have to guide Juve for many years.
