- The chances of De Canio and strange alliances
Friday October 26, 2007
In the afternoon a uggioso Friday of the end of October is the official arrives: "Luigi De Canio is the new coach of Queens Park Rangers." Flavio Briatore (with the participation of Bernie Ecclestone) so focused on technical Matera, stalled since the end of the 2005-2006 season to revive his team in the Championship, the series B English. Apparently all quiet, with the man who succeeded to save the Siena relegation by a couple of seasons ago, in place of Mick Harford, who ferryman exemption after John Gregory, had managed to strike a victory and two draws. Not enough.

The rotation, however, deserves a double reflection: De Canio has' burned 'on the home straight wire Francesco Guidolin, a former engineer from Palermo estimated but obviously not considered technical' first band '(we could remake in Parma if it is blown up 'Mimmo Di Carlo). Many beautiful experience (the miracle Vicenza with the conquest of the Italian Cup, Bologna, basically the last Palermo), but not enough for the leap in quality. It is also true that the Qpr-last in the chart - is still a challenge. The same reasoning that led De Canio to accept the proposal. Despite malelingue.

. Already the 'chat' collaboration between former Juventus CEO Antonio Giraudo with the English club (denied by Briatore) it circulates in fact another equally evocative. What good De Canio was pushed Oltremanica for some alliances market which would lead to the old management Juventus. . In short courses and appeals, perhaps by bar-sport stuff. Tanto alla fine contano sempre i tre punti... Both at the end always count three points ... Report

La chance di De Canio e le strane alleanze

Luigi De Canio
Nel pomeriggio di un uggioso venerdì di fine ottobre è arriva l'ufficialità: "Luigi De Canio è il nuovo allenatore del Queens Park Rangers". Flavio Briatore (con la partecipazione di Bernie Ecclestone) ha puntato così sul tecnico di Matera, fermo dalla fine della stagione 2005-2006 per rilanciare la sua squadra nella Championship, la serie B inglese. Apparentemente tutto tranquillo quindi, con l'uomo che riuscì a salvare il Siena dalla retrocessione un paio di stagioni fa, al posto di Mick Harford, che da traghettatore dopo l'esonero di John Gregory, era riuscito a centrare una vittoria e due pareggi. Non abbastanza.

L'avvicendamento però merita una doppia riflessione: De Canio ha 'bruciato' sul filo del traguardo Francesco Guidolin, ex tecnico del Palermo stimato dall'ambiente ma evidentemente non considerato tecnico di 'primissima fascia' (si potrebbe rifare a Parma se dovesse 'saltare' Mimmo Di Carlo). Tante belle esperienze (il miracolo Vicenza con la conquista della Coppa Italia, il Bologna, in fondo anche l'ultimo Palermo) ma non sufficienti per il salto di qualità. E' vero anche che il Qpr - ultimo in classifica - rappresenta pur sempre una scommessa. Ma di prestigio. Lo stesso ragionamento che ha spinto De Canio ad accettare la proposta. Nonostante le malelingue.

Alla già 'chiacchierata' collaborazione tra l'ex amministratore delegato della Juventus Antonio Giraudo con il club inglese (smentita da Briatore) ne circola infatti un'altra altrettanto suggestiva. Che il buon De Canio sarebbe stato spinto Oltremanica per alcune alleanze di mercato che porterebbero alla vecchia gestione Juventus. Insomma corsi e ricorsi, forse roba da bar-sport. Tanto alla fine contano sempre i tre punti... Report
