After the words of the past few days ("misinterpreted, they created a big mess"), the Bergamo coach and Vlhova are back on track for testing, even if the situation is still to be clarified. The sensational scenario of a private team with Federica, with the FISI obstacle which is not insignificant, remains a distant hypothesis. The Aosta Valley, in any case, could still leave the elite group.

It is a story of intertwining that could also lead to important changes, on both sides, but which in the current state of things it is good to underline are only rumors that, given the scope of the characters at stake, it is still right. to clarify.
Livio Magoni and Federica Brignone at work together in the Olympic season? We are far from this scenario, but we are talking about it from many sides after what happened in these days after Petra Vlhova's triumph in the World Cup.
Let's start from the evident discomfort of the Aosta Valley, expressed several times and in a sensational way in the post-race of the final giant of the World Cup in Lenzerheide, even if Federica has kept us to reiterate, on the occasion of the Absolutes of Livigno, that the desire to there is still skiing, and how. The problem is another, not so much the possibility of a retirement as revealed by the blue champion, and concerns the work within the national team, in particular in the elite trio formed with Sofia Goggia and Marta Bassino to be part of it together with the cup winner. 2019/2020; differences of views on various aspects and here is that Brignone could also leave that group.
And at this point the idea of joining up with another technician was born: the 30-year-old from La Salle esteems Magoni, with whom she worked already from 2013 to 2015, on the occasion of the two seasons of the Selvino coach at the helm of the gigantists. blue (with Federica returning after a serious ankle injury). The Bergamo technician is also on excellent terms with Mauro Sbardellotto, Brignone's trusted skiman, there are many, however, not insignificant in the middle and obviously one concerns the FISI; after the stormy goodbye six years ago. In this case, the ratios are ... less than zero.
Magoni himself, it must be said, in these days has confided to us that everything is at stake and, precisely this morning, regarding the situation of the possible (at this point more difficult) continuation of the working relationship with Petra Vlhova, with whom the 'agreement is signed until the end of the next Olympic season, he explained that he does not know how it will end, "considering that a piece written and misinterpreted (referring to his statements in the columns of the" Corriere della Sera ", which led to the reaction surprise of the Slovak champion herself) created a big mess ”.
And on the possibility of a “bomb” pairing with Brignone, the coach who led Maze and Vlhova to the conquest of the World Cup explained us clearly. “I don't know anything about it, they are killing me. I'm here to work in Jasna, I find myself in this situation without having done anything ”.
The only certainty is that Magoni and Team Vlhova, in these days, will have to define whether to continue together or not. The rest will be a consequence.
