Franco Carraro hopes to be Malagò's successor, the Como coach prefers to stay on the lake rather than sit on the bench of the Champions League finalist, while the one who brought Bergamo to the top of Europe a year ago is leaving for Rome. It's the world that suddenly changes

This is not a joke. It's all true what's happening to Italian sports, even before the heat gets to your head. We are in a country where there is an eighty-five year old candidate for the presidency of Coni, who also has a great chance of success (appeals permitting) because, as the person concerned says, he would be the lesser evil for the post-Malagò era. While Franco Carraro is having fun like a child reading everything that has been written about him, including the words of Minister Abodi for whom "everything has its time", even better things are happening. The Italian champion coach preferred Napoli to Juventus, whom he also loved. The Como coach, although attracted by the challenge proposed to him, preferred to stay on the lake rather than sit on the bench of the Champions League finalist. The coach who took Bergamo to the top of Europe a year ago decided to go to Rome and not to Juve, who had also sought him out. It's the world that changes suddenly . So it happens that an Indonesian manager, president of a very rich team, but saved from relegation only in extremis, takes the liberty of saying no to Beppe Marotta, the best Italian manager who one day could even think of running himself to lead all of Italian sport.
Mirwan Suwarso is the man of the summer. The first to dictate a statement that puts Inter and its president offside: “Nothing happened with Inter. They asked to speak to our coach and we said no” . A few, very clear, words that forced the Nerazzurri club to veer towards Chivu who was not coaching Real Madrid, but Parma, another team saved on the last day after trying to trip up Napoli. Suwarso, president of Como since October, is the head of The Mola Group, a company in the sports and entertainment sector that also owns a media network, a production company and a music label. He is the right-hand man of the Hartono brothers, the 71st and 76th richest men in the world, according to the Forbes rankings. They too are a bit advanced in years, but they are people who can proudly stand in the way of Marotta, convinced that he can rebuild Inter starting with Fabregas. They are not afraid of revenge, evidently. They go straight on their way, imagining a pompom stadium full of Hollywood celebrities intrigued by the charm of the most romantic lake in the world.
A fascinating project that has imprisoned the Spanish coach. Cesc was tempted by the Inter offer and was already fantasizing about how to transform it, but then he too crashed into the Indonesian wall. All stories that some time ago would have been the perfect plot for a science fiction novel. And today they are just news. Like the Milan affair that decided to sell one of the best midfielders in Europe to take a forty-year-old with a great past , but a more uncertain future than that of Lewis Hamilton, another forty-year-old with an impeccable past, who landed in this extraordinary country for old men that Italy is becoming, especially if in a few weeks Franco Carraro goes to sit on yet another armchair of his life. A life that truly seems like an endless fairy tale. “The never ending story”. The soundtrack is already ready. In the meantime, let's get down to tennis.
