Luciano Spalletti biography
The Empri midfielder Luciano Spalletti the success of a young specialist did not go unnoticed. Spalletti was called to Sampdoria, whose fans still remembered the championship of the year. Since then, the team, of course, surrendered, but still fought, and sometimes successfully, for places in European cups. But at a higher level, Luciano failed. The team turned out to be not ready for the season, by the middle of its middle there were only three victories.
Spalletti was fired on December 13. David Platt, who replaced him, was even worse. Not finding another specialist, the leadership of Sampdoria, he could shake the team a little. The Genoese gave out excellent ending three victories in a row, but it was too late, Sampdoria left the series “A”. A similar picture turned out to be in Venice. Luchano began the season, was fired after the 8th round, returned after the th, the second time left after the th.
Now finally, and Venice went to the second division. Then Spalletti had a chance to try himself as a “fireman”, it turned out successfully. In March, he stood at the helm of the Udineza and was able to save the team from departure to the second division. In the season, Luchano coached Ancona, finishing in the middle of the Table of series “B”. The second visit to this club turned out to be much more successful.
In the first year of his work, the Udinese made a breakthrough from the place to the 6th, and in the season he finished on the 4th line, giving the right to play in the Champions League. It was a purely coaching success, there were no big financial influences in the team. Luciano used the quick movements of the players and high pressure, back in Empri, but in the "Udinese" the class of football players was noticeably higher.
Here, Spalletti applied the outlandish at that time, and the goalkeeper Morgan di St. St. Petersburg became a full -fledged participant in positional attacks. This tactical technique is the use of the goalkeeper when the ball is owned by Josep Guardiola. However, the first at the highest level, he was applied by Spalletti, just Pepa was a much more famous team than a modest “Udineza”.
Like, with him the club reached its ceiling. It turned out quite soon - they slept in Rome.
Of course, it was a challenge, and for his sake the coach left the team he built. The situation was approximately the same as in the "Udinese" three years earlier. In the season, Roma replaced four mentors Ezio Sella and Rudy Feller worked as a duet, and although she took eighth place, the threat of departure hung over the team. Remember that great season of series “A”, when 13 clubs fought for survival, and the 8th place from the direct flight was separated by 4 !!!
Luciano and here gave a result. Under his leadership, Roma took silver for the first time three times in a row, however, the Romans as a result of Calchopoli got medals, it was initially 5th place, took two cups and a Italian Super Bowl. Three times in a row, the Romans went to the Champions League playoffs, in two cases they got to the quarterfinals. In the season, the Romans to the last round fought with Inter for the championship, having given 3 points in the end.
In addition to the result, Spalletti put Roma a bright attacking game. At the same time, Luchano found non -trivial outputs of difficult situations. For example, in the season, all pure forwards dropped out due to injuries. Then Francesco Tentti put forward forward, leaving the role of a free artist behind him. The emperor gave out the most productive season in his career, distinguished by 32 times.
Spalletti later learned how to do without pronounced finishes. So a team game was set that almost any field player could score, goals were distributed to a good dozen football players. On the one hand, in each match this created the problem of the opponent, on the other hand, it worked at a distance. The loss of one or more performers did not affect team performance. Luciano Spalletti at Zenit after two defeats at the start of the Italian championship Spalletti unexpectedly announced his care.
The wording was the same as in the case of the "Udinese". True, this time, Luciano did not cunning. After all, the next place of his work did not appear immediately. Spalletti coped with her already in the first season, simultaneously taking the Russian Cup. In the next, transitional for Russian football, the season of St. Petersburg will repeat their success in the championship, and will break through the playoffs of the Champions League.
Under Spalletti, Zenit began to dominate in Russia, in line was the Champions League. Of course, it was not about victory in the tournament, but the leadership of the semifinals stated confidently. Spalletti celebrates the victory in the Russian championship for this task purchased Star Hulk and Axel Witsel. However, the team, contrary to expectations, began to take. Speaking objectively, Luchano lost control of the locker room, missing the conflict between the newcomers and the old -timers of the team.
As a result, the game of the team was upset. The leadership gave the Italian a chance, but Spalletti could not correct the situation and left Peter in March. The return to Roma this time Luchano spent almost two years without work. Only in January of the year he was called to Roma, from where Ruda Garcia was fired.Spalletti started with Nichya with Verona and the defeat from Juventus, but then the Romans won 14 from the tie matches of the championship and finished on the third line.
Luciano Spalletti and Francesco Totti in the Wolves season fought with Juventus for the championship, but could not withstand the racing stress, as a result, lagging behind 4 points. It seemed that Roma, under the leadership of Spalletti, would take a missing step. But the coach decided differently. In this decision, many were looking for some background, remembered a long conflict Spalletti with Totti.
But Cheko ended his career simultaneously with the departure of Luciano. He accepted a new challenge, which became the Milan "Inter", whose fans began to forget the taste of great victories. Under Luciano, “Nerazzurri” returned to the Champions League, but there was no progress. In the Inter season, as a year earlier, he finished on the fourth line. Therefore, the dismissal of a specialist was not surprising.
Inter coach Luciano Spalletti Napoli the appointment of Spalletti by the head coach Napoli was met with a fair amount of skepticism. Luciano has already exceeded 60, for two years he was sitting without work. But reality exceeded all expectations. In the first season, I slept returned to Naples League of the Champions. The possibility of victory of the Neapolitans in the championship was not even considered, their ceiling was considered to be in the Champions League.
But Napoli became the champion for the first time since Diego Maradona. The role of the coach in this cannot be overestimated. In each line, Spalletti played a new leader. At the gate, it was Alex Meriet, who had previously lost competition to Ospin. But Luchano decided that the constant rotation of the goalkeepers was harming the cause. He removed the Colombian, because the measure was much younger.
Yes, it was a risk, but it was fully justified. In the midline, everyone was eclipsed by the well -known Khvich Kvaraskhelia, and Viktor Osimhen shook in the attack, who scored more than in the previous two seasons. Nevertheless, Napoli was, first of all, a team. To each player, Luchano was able to find an approach and almost everyone issued the best season in his career. The Napoli title issued five rounds before the finish, became the most effective team and missed the least.
And Spalletti unexpectedly resigned. The President of the club Aurelio de Laurentis satisfied the request, but soon admitted that this was a mistake. The Italian team - to the present, and Spalletti headed the Italian team. The contract with it was signed before the completion of the World Cup but ahead of the European championship, where the Italians have to defend the title.
How, in your opinion, the Italian team, led by Spalletti, will speak at the euro? Will become a champion.
