(ANSA) – LA SPEZIA, MAY 15 – In the aftermath of salvation, in the Spezia home the issue that arises is the future of the coach Thiago Motta, even if he has a contract that binds him to the club until 2024. Able to bring the youngest squad in Serie A to maintain the top flight one day early, the coach had to face a very complicated season between Covid outbreaks, skipped preparation, serious injuries and the blockade of the transfer market imposed on the Ligurian club by Fifa for the trafficking of baby footballers, which did not allow in January to bring fresh forces. Despite everything, Motta is three points from the spoils won by Vincenzo Italiano last season, with one day left to play. A season that went from the “almost exemption” in December to the successes against Napoli and Milan, from a very frank confrontation with the locker room to the ability to rely on the senators. L’Equipe includes Motta among the eligible candidates for the PSG bench, certainly there is no shortage of admirers in Italy too.

At the end of the championship it will be an interview with the Platek family, displaced last year by the sudden farewell of Italian at the end of June, to design the future of the Ligurian bench for the third consecutive championship in A. Meanwhile, the president Philip Platek congratulates the whole environment for the goal achieved. “We have overcome obstacles that seemed insurmountable. We have rewritten a history that for many saw our destiny sealed. We have shown that this Club never gives up.” For the American manager, the “credit for all this is certainly due to a truly special group of guys, who fought hard throughout the season, never giving up, always managing to find the strength to rise from every difficult moment. To these young professionals and the thanks of the whole property go to the technical staff.

I also want to thank all the professionals who revolve around the team, the employees. A special thanks and a hug to every fan: this new milestone is dedicated to them “. (ANSA).
