Rudi Garcia does not help his case

Regularly criticized since the start of the season, the French coach of Naples sees his situation still weakened after the defeat of the Italian champions conceded on Sunday against a relegation team.

They’re going to let off steam again. The anti Rudi Garcia will not fail to target the French coach after the surprise defeat conceded by Naples at home, Sunday against Empoli (0-1, 12th day of Serie A)the fault of a sumptuous goal from Viktor Kovalenko in added time (90th + 1).

Losing like this against a team nineteenth in the standings before kick-off can only weaken Rudi Garcia a little more. He had attracted the wrath of his enemies by leaving Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the bench.

The talented Georgian striker from Napoli came on in the second half (54th) but that will not calm those who want to see the French coach fall.

Present in the stands of the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, the president of the Italian champions, Aurelio de Laurentiis, must not have appreciated the Sunday spectacle either.

Midweek, reported La Gazzetta dello Sportthe boss of the Partenopei had asked for explanations from Rudi Garcia after the draw conceded to Maradona against theUnion Berlin in the Champions League (1-1).

Fourth in Serie A, eight lengths behind the leader, Juventus, Napoli went a fifth match without a win at home, just before the international break.
