From the national team to Saudi Arabia? Luciano Spalletti could write a new chapter in his career under the scorching sun of the Gulf. According to Arab press, Saudi club Al-Nassr is seriously considering the name of the former Italy coach for their bench, should Stefano Pioli – current coach – decide to leave the Middle East to return to his homeland, with Fiorentina awaiting him with open arms.
For Spalletti, it would be a return to the world of clubs after his experience with the Azzurri, which ended amid controversy and disappointment. The Tuscan coach, who boasts a top-level career between Roma, Inter, Napoli and even Zenit, would be the ideal profile for an ambitious project like that of Al-Nassr, determined to relaunch after an up-and-down season despite the presence of champions like Cristiano Ronaldo.
An official proposal could arrive in the next few days, with potentially stellar figures and a sporting project worthy of a top Asian club. After winning the tricolor in Naples and his brief experience on the bench of the national team, Spalletti is ready to get back into the game. And this time, the scenario could be decidedly exotic.
