No meeting even today between Roberto Mancini and Suning: according to updates from La Repubblica, the awaited confrontation with the owners hasn’t occured. The two parties remain distant.
For the coach, who feels “separated in the house” and notably absent at the gala dinner of the club, there are no news yet. President Thohir continues to attempt to soft talk to him but he hasn’t put anything on the table like the renewal which the coach really wants.
Ausilio has taken on the unusual role of peacemaker between Mancini and the owners by assuring the arrival of Candreva (deal is almost done) and keeping Icardi (Argentina’s captain, however, continues threatening to leave if he does not get right raise of salary).
Mancini, in these American days, is shown in a ‘zen’ version: walking, jogging, working with the usual concentration, but his deep dissatisfaction has also to do with being just the leader of the team. He does not enjoy the role of just a coach, he wants a more rounded English style manager role.
After two years of sacrifices, he wants to lead a team which is not restrained by the Financial Fair Play.
The club will try to find a new agreement with UEFA over the coming months and thus open another cycle, from which Mancini could be excluded. The coach thinks, reflects and above all trains: the Nerazzurri will play in a friendly against Estudiantes. After that, Mancini will speak at the conference and, hopefully he will be more talkative than the last time, and perhaps provide some valuable clues to better understand the situation.
With the championship close to starting (Inter debut on Sunday 22nd against Chievo, then the next week to they will play at San Siro against Palermo). A Mancini departure would create absolute chaos, although, according to some well informed sources, Frank De Boer has already been contacted for the bench in case Mancini leaves.
