Missing five games at the end of the season and an idea of ​​what the future of his Naples will have to be, Carlo Ancelotti. The elimination from the Europa League will force him to anticipate the times, to start a mini revolution that will serve to fine-tune the staff for next season. The current one did not satisfy anyone, including him. He probably expected to celebrate his first Neapolitan experience with a trophy. Instead, a month in advance he was forced to review present and future projects and anticipate some market decisions. Without losing sight of the second place that will somehow have to defend and that still remains a satisfaction, albeit ephemeral. Tomorrow evening, at San Paolo, there will be Atalanta, an uncomfortable opponent due to her way of playing and the quality of the collective. From his parents, Carlo Ancelotti expects a strong reaction, which will make him understand how much the European disappointment on their morale could have influenced. And he will also need it to confirm his doubts about who to reconfirm.

WHO COULD LEAVE - The list of starters could be extended. In January, Hamsik and Rog went away, in June it could be the turn of Hysaj, Mario Rui, Diawara, Mertens and, probably, Lorenzo Insigne also in consideration of what happened Thursday evening, against Arsenal. Cristiano Giuntoli has been working for some time to ensure the technician a replacement on defensive exteriors. The new name is that of Kieran Trippier, 28, Tottenham defender and English national. The cost of his card is around 30 million euros and the operation is appreciated by Ancelotti himself. The question related to the extension of the Mertens agreement remains pending. The attacker has the contract expiring in 2020. He would be willing to reach maturity in order to stay, but you have to understand if Ancelotti will still consider it functional for the future. A complicated situation, in some respects, because the latest developments in the Insigne affair have opened up new scenarios, which could also include the possible sale of the captain.
