While Rudi Garcia is currently in Nice with his family awaiting the formalization of his dismissal, Napoli is working internally with president Aurelio De Laurentiis to lock in the signing of the next Partenopei coach, at a time when Igor Tudor is in pole position. Asked about the situation of his former club with which he won a historic Scudetto, Luciano Spalletti, now coach of the Squadra Azzurra, wanted to go to the front to defend his successor who, according to him, never had a positive treatment since his arrival at the head of the Neapolitan club:
“I have nothing to say about it. I had prepared myself a little for this question, but I am the coach of the national team and at the moment I think it is unfair to talk about clubs, just as it is unfair to always make comparisons with the pass. I respect Garcia a lot, he showed that he is a decent and balanced person, it was not right from the first game to compare him to the team’s past. The past is a beautiful past which is part of a beautiful history that our football must carry with it because it was an incredible emotion.said the Italian coach.
