Napoli also wants Schick

Napoli is another club that is giving forces to the attraction to the attacker of Sampdoria Patrik Schick. The 21-year-old footballer has made a great first season in Serie A, having scored eleven goals, many of which as a backup.
There is an interest in the Czech national from Inter, Roma, and Juventus, and the liberating clause of his contract is worth 25 million euros. According to the press, the Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis has already offered 19 million euros for the youngster, and this week there will be several meetings with his colleague and the Sampdoria boss Massimo Ferraro.
Sampdoria wants to offer a new contract to Schick, to increase his liberating clause, but in Italy, they believe it will hardly happen. It is believed that Juventus is the favorite for the Czech footballer, and it is probably `the old lady` to attract him and let him hire at Sampdoria for next season. The club has already made a similar transfer with Mattia Caldara from Atalanta.

Ruud Gullit became the assistant of Advocaat

The Dutch legend Ruud Gullit was appointed the assistant to Dick Advocaat who today was expectedly confirmed as the head coach of the team for the third time.
The European champion with the Tulips from 1988 and one of the greatest players in the history of the country, was a tv analyst, as he has not been a coach since 2011 when for a short time he was the head of the Russian Terek.
It is interesting that during the first stay of Advocaat at the helm of the Netherlands (1992-94), the two were in conflict, as Gullit was even announced he was leaving the team before changing his mind. Before the 1994 World Cup he finally gave up after a dispute with the new coach, but now it seems the two are still in a kind of rocky relationship.
Advocaat, who in September will reach the age of 70 years, will become the oldest coach of the Tulips, improving the achievement of Guus Hiddink, who upon his leaving in June 2015 was at the age of 68.
His return to the team for the third time, however, was not welcomed by all, as the boss of Reading, Jaap Stam announced that the Federation should look to a guy with different and fresh ideas, instead of returning to familiar names.
