It is an understatement to say that Rudi Garcia is in difficulty on the Naples bench.
Champion at half-mast, Napoli are only fifth in Serie A after eight days this season, already relegated seven lengths behind the Rossonero leader.
This Tuesday, while giving a conference at a university in Rome, Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of the Partenopei, did not spare his team’s coach.
“ I’m having a bad time with him. I am an entrepreneur, I have a duty to take an interest in my business. The coach and sports director are at your service. I will make the most appropriate decisions when the time comes. Any hasty decision is bad », Says the sanguine Neapolitan boss.
A three-match reprieve
And to drive the point home: “ When you take a coach who no longer knows Italian football, maybe he has difficulties. This would have happened to anyone else. The only responsibility I have, in addition to having chosen the coach, is for not having had the chance to be close to him… »
Aurelio De Laurentiis also confirms having also surveyed Luis Enrique and Thiago Motta this summer, his first personal choices. Rudi Garcia will only have a few weeks after the international break to rectify the situation. The Italian press mentions a reprieve of three matches, against Hellas Verona, Union Berlin in C1 and AC Milan.
