Rudi Garcia is in an ejection seat on the Napoli side. Remaining with two setbacks in one week, the French coach must rectify the situation. The contenders for his succession are standing by.
Italian champion last year under the leadership of Luciano Spalletti, Naples is experiencing a much more sluggish start to the 2023-2024 season. This time under the orders of Rudi Garcia, the Italian club is only in fifth position after eight days, seven lengths behind the leader, AC Milan. A situation which seriously weakens the French coach whose team currently has two consecutive defeats in all competitions. A reaction is expected. And very quickly.
Because the transalpine press echoes the annoyance of the truculent Aurélio de Laurentiis. The owner of Napoli had very little taste of the setback suffered on Sunday at home against Fiorentina (1-3) and could decide to open the door to a departure from Rudi Garcia. For Il Mattinothis is not yet the position taken by the leader, but if the next matches against VeronaUnion Berlin and AC Milan were to go badly, the situation should change.
Tale or Tudor?
And if Rudi Garcia was fired, he would still have to find an available replacement. According to Sky Italia, two names would come up for the moment. That of Antonio Conte and Igor Tudor, both free. It is up to the current Napoli technician to find the recipe to turn things around while there is still time. Aurelio de Laurentiis’ patience is not known to be limitless.
