Lawyer Dario Canovi, speaking on Tmw Radio during the Maracanà show, discussed various football topics. Regarding the renewal of Palladino`s contract, he called it an intelligent move, recalling Silvio Berlusconi`s approach with Arrigo Sacchi. Canovi mentioned that when results were poor, Berlusconi publicly guaranteed Sacchi would stay for three years. Canovi sees this type of action as a crucial sign of confidence in the coach and a way to signal to the players that the manager remains firmly in charge.
Commentating on Simone Inzaghi, Canovi stated he had previously estimated a 55% chance of Inter reaching the final, noting that he considers them the strongest team currently in Italy. He then offered high praise for Carlo Ancelotti, describing him as a “true coach” who possesses an excellent ability to read and understand games. Canovi emphasized that Ancelotti`s numerous successes around the world are definitive proof that he is far more than just a “manager” – he is a truly great coach. Canovi applied the same positive assessment to Claudio Ranieri, also asserting that he is not merely a manager but indeed a great coach.
