Lacking convincing results since coaching Naples, Rudi Garcia sees his position threatened. The name of a former OM coach has already been mentioned to replace him.
The reigning champion is already seriously behind in Serie A. Winner of the Scudetto last season, Naples is currently seven points behind the leader, Inter Milan. Only seventh in the standings, the Neapolitans did not experience any major changes in their group during the summer. The only significant change concerned the coaching position since Luciano Spalletti preferred to leave and was replaced by Rudi Garcia. The French tactician already appears in great danger.
And according to the transalpine press, certain warning signs of a possible dismissal of the former OM coach are visible. Starting with the message of encouragement from the president of Napoli, Aurelio De Laurentiis. Calling on the past, La Gazzetta dello Sport recalled an identical scenario, two weeks before the ousting of Carlo Ancelotti in December 2019. Enough to worry Rudi Garcia a little more.
Tudor as successor?
Because even if he proclaimed this weekend that he had the supporters behind him, the French tactician was clearly weakened after the draw conceded in Bologna (0-0). As a result, the Italian sports media indicated on Tuesday that the Napoli boss, even if he is perhaps not decided to change everything immediately, has started looking for an emergency option. And it was the name of Igor Tudor that appeared. Also on the bench of Olympique de Marseille, the Croatian is free. The next results of Rudi Garcia and his team could well determine the fate of the coach.
