The story between Naples and Rudi Garcia has been over for several weeks, but the resentment remains tenacious for Aurelio De Laurentiis. The president of Naples returned to his choice of choosing Rudi Garcia to succeed Luciano Spalletti, Serie A champion last year, in an interview with Corriere dello Sport.
“Now he’s leaving.”
While explaining that the French coach was not his first choice, Thiago Motta having preferred to opt for Bologna and Luis Enrique for the money of PSG, Aurelio De Laurentiis especially seems to greatly regret his choice.
“I should have made a dramatic move and said: here he is introduced, but now he is leaving. Because a person who arrives and says: “I don’t know Napoli, I haven’t seen a match”. I should have understood. While I preferred to laugh about it. The problem is that he repeated it several times,” he said. Rudi Garcia only remained coach of Napoli for 16 matches, with a record of eight wins, four draws and four defeats.
