Today’s Papers – Italy and Serie A scandal, Real Madrid miss Ancelotti
La Gazzetta dello Sport
The Scudetto and the future of the coaches
Chivu: renewal and change
Everything says Conte
Italy coach: Antonio is here. Green light from Napoli.
De Laurentiis: ‘If he asks me to go…’ He’s the right man also for Malagò and Conte
Milan: Gimenez and two wingers (one is Leao). Allegri is looking for goals.
Farewell, Lucescu: a visionary coach who brought his footballers to the museum.
Corriere dello Sport
Without Carlo, it’s not Real
Champions, quarter-final first leg: Bayern win in Madrid (1-2).
A nightmare season for Perez after parting ways from Ancelotti: He’s -7 from Barcelona in La Liga and now risks being eliminated from Europe. Arbeloa at the finishing line: Diaz and Kane decide. Useless Mbappé goal. Arsenal’s coup: Sporting beaten (0-1).
Here’s the scandal
Poor national team
First round after the 3rd World Cup shock: the numbers of the crisis
Only 64 Italian starters out of 220.
Serie A restarted with 70.9% of foreign players. A worrying mismatch, even including substitutions: 28 domestic footballers and 66 foreigners. The ex-CT Spalletti: ‘One U19 always on the pitch.’
‘Napoli worthy of the Scudetto’
The title race with Inter in seven rounds
DeLa: ‘There’s a little hope, we would have won without injuries.’ Fixture lists compared: Como is the first danger for Chivu.
Juve: Vlahovic returns in May
Calf lesion and at least three weeks out: he’ll miss Atalanta, Bologna and Milan. Back with Verona.
Farewell, Mircea, the Italian of Bucarest.
Tuttosport
Now Spalletti’s moves are needed
McKennie out, Vlahovic’s loss, Champions League priority: inscrutable Juve
Shocked by the highs and lows of his players, who still moved one point behind the fourth spot. Lucio must invent something for the final part of the season. The Texan is suspended against Atalanta. The Serbian is injured for three more weeks, raising further doubts about the renewal. Nunez emerges again, and the dream is to have reinforcements with personality. Di Gregorio returns as a starter and gets emotional.
Conte CT? Go ahead!
The Napoli owner is open, but with an exception: ‘Antonio is intelligent, I don’t think he’d accept offers without a serious interlocutor.’ Hypothesis of a double appointment.
Bayern gift a Real show, Arsenal coup
A stroke took Lucescu away from us
The visionary globetrotter
He has coached everywhere and invented the match analysis. Culture, friendliness, 36 trophies and UEFA Cup with Shakhtar.
