It’s no longer a secret: French coach Rudi Garcia is more than ever in the hot seat in Naples. Indeed, the poor results at the start of the season, coupled with management deemed critical by his locker room executives, have weakened his position on the Partenopei bench. If a meeting had already taken place on Sunday after the defeat against Fiorentina, a new decisive interview will be organized this Wednesday with Neapolitan president Aurelio De Laurentiis. According to our information, the 74-year-old businessman will propose a consensual break to the former OM and OL tactician this Wednesday with a severance package estimated at around 2.8 million euros, thus saving a year on the contract initialed by the Frenchman last summer.
The departure of Rudi Garcia, who returns from a few days of vacation in the south of France, could therefore well be announced in the coming hours, if the two men agree during the meeting scheduled for today. At the same time, Aurelio De Laurentiis continues to advance the arrival of Italian coach Antonio Conte, still without a club since his departure from Tottenham, on the Napoli bench. Indeed, as our Italian colleagues from La Gazzetta dello Sport and of La Repubblica, the former Juventus and Inter Milan technician is the absolute objective of the Neapolitan management and negotiations have already started between all parties. In the event of failure to sign Conte in Naples, Igor Tudor remains plan B.
