unai_emery_06052012Spanish media say Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis boarded a flight to Madrid this morning in an attempt to secure the signing of Sevilla coach and West Ham target, Unai Emery to manage in Serie A next season.

De Lauerntiis and his right hand man, Andrea Chiavelli, will meet later this evening with Emery and his agent, Jorge Mendes, with the intention of convincing the Basque coach of a move to the San Paolo will further his career.

Emery will have to renounce Champions League football after Sevilla’s win in last week’s Europa League Following last night’s 2-4 defeat to Lazio, Napoli will have to settle for Europa League football next season. If Emery isn’t persuaded to join Napoli, then the next candidate in line For Napoli is said to be Serbian, Sinisa Mihajlovic, who today resigned as Sampdoria coach.

    Maybe De Laurentis was trying to grab BFS before he signs at the Bernabeu

    Thats it,Mihajlovic will be in the frame for our job now.That will get the google kings going into meltdown,lol 😀

  • IronsEssex says:

    I can’t see Emery leaving Sevilla, 2 Consecutive europa league titles and champions league football. Napoli are in the same boat as us except with a lot more empty seats lol

  • mattefumi el loco says:

    ahah… Sinisa is a great coach… I’d like him… but first I need hundreds of stats about him, his family tree, his sexual habits, his blood type, his favourite food, his favourite color and his favourite music… there’s only one place where I can find this relevant information… lol

  • bubs says:

    Ouch 1 out of 2 lads Bilic or Biesla or they are the only 2 that want the job and we have about 3 days before its only Bilic,
    Then we go to the next list headed by DeBoer if we are lucky,
    And no I am not down beat just a level headed realist

    • IronsEssex says:

      FdB’s agent has spoken and said that we have made no contact with him what so ever and until Ajax say otherwise he is staying put so it basically leaves a very unlikely Emery, Bielsa and Billic

  • Rads says:

    Bored of this manager stuff now.None of us have a bloody clue whats going on,who we have contacted,managers agents,managers themselves.Just end up reading media & going round in circles.I am now officially off the manager debate.I will wait to see who we get.The board aint going to say anything specific,why should they.Think i am going to go find some shagging forums,far more fun,go chat to some beaver who aint sh*tting themselves about managers,lol 😀
