During the broadcast “Si Gonfia la Rete” hosted by Raffaele Auriemma on Radio Crc, we had the pleasure of listening to the speech of Martin Petras, an integral part of the entourage of Hamsik: "Calzone and his stay in Slovakia? He extended his contract until the end of the 2025 World Cup qualifiers, which means until December 30, 2025.
“If Slovakia qualifies for the World Cup, Calzona could have the option to continue coaching until the end of the tournament.
However, when a journalist raised the question of his future, Calzona responded wisely by saying that he doesn't even know what he will do tomorrow. In football, you know, it's difficult to make long-term plans."
“Hamsik praised Calzona's work at Napoli, noting a constant improvement in the team despite the difficulties in the Champions League.
The player confirmed that the work done by the technical staff is bringing concrete results, and this is what really matters for the players."
“As for the possibility of becoming the new coach of Slovakia, Hamsik is cautious but ambitious. He knows that the path from footballer to coach is demanding and that one must proceed step by step.
At the moment, he is dedicating himself to the Academy he founded and is following Calzona's philosophy, but his future as a national coach is still uncertain."
“Hamsik was close to returning to Naples, but in the end things didn’t materialize. However, the possibility of a return in the future is not ruled out.
If Calzona were to stay at Napoli and reach an agreement with the Slovak Federation, it is likely that he will try to bring Hamsik with him. However, this is a situation full of uncertainties and variables".
