Conte, Zeman, Inzaghi. The first is confirmed as the best Italian coach for the third consecutive year (in front of the former banker Maruzio Sarri, architect of the Empoli miracle), the second is back on the Cagliari bench (taking up the place he had left for Gianfranco Zola), the third is more than ever poised on that of Milan, even if Berlusconi, with a phone call in the morning to the person concerned, would have given the approval to the confirmation probably until the end of the year.
No Brocchi, therefore, and neither Tassotti. If there must be an internal solution, we might as well go ahead with Inzaghi (barring cataclysms in the next matches): in June we will think calmly about the new cycle, also on the basis of the probable corporate news that would then open up to other coaches, including foreign ones and of higher prestige – no offense – than that of the rookie former Rossoneri striker.
While SuperPippo he suffers, Conte and Zeman laugh. The coach of the Italian national team does not experience a moment of enormous feeling with the blue environment but in the meantime collects for the third consecutive time the Bench of Gold, or rather the "Golden Ball" of the Italian coaches, as only Fabio Capello had managed. “Thank you because it's the third time I've received this very coveted award – said the former Juventus coach during the ceremony -. It is a pleasure to receive it from colleagues. Our school of technicians is among the best ever. I thank my staff who are all here today, behind the results of a coach there must be a great staff. I'm very excited".
Conte did not spare a very veiled barb at the work of his predecessor Massimiliano Allegri: “On the championship, I can say that I was expecting a more competitive tournament. If this Juve had the wickedness of 'my' Juve they would have a 20-point lead. Far and wide, Juventus is deserving of this leadership in the standings, it is proving that it has more of something than the others."
On the other hand, Monday on the benches is closed by the umpteenth revenge (following the umpteenth exemption…) by Zdenek Zeman, who after being torpedoed by Cagliari in December, to make room for Gianfranco Zola, returns to his post to attempt a very complicated salvation at this point. After a long series of disappointing experiences, recently interrupted only by the Pescara laboratory in Serie B, the Bohemian has the great opportunity to win a goal and perhaps deserve confirmation for the following year. Two consecutive seasons in one club: for one reason or another, it hasn't happened to him since 1998, when he was confirmed by Roma for a second season after the 1997-98 one. Since then 11 teams (including the encore in Rome) and 11 exemptions.
