It is often said that Marseille and Naples are similar. Rudi Garcia will perhaps have the opportunity to compare his judgment with Igor Tudor. Because the Croatian could be the third coach to coach both clubs (the third being current OM coach Gennaro Gattuso). Indeed, Tudor is announced in the short list of President Aurelio de Laurentiis to replace Garcia, who is under pressure.
Having left OM at the end of the last season to everyone’s surprise, the 45-year-old coach is awaiting a position in Serie A, where he left a very good impression with Hellas Verona in 2021-2022. Several Italian media indicate contact has already been established, although the Gazzetta dello Sport has not yet had confirmation. Initially frightened by Tudor’s tactical system, with three central defenders while Napoli are used to playing in 4-3-3, De Laurentiis will no longer be closed to the idea of a total change.
