Napoli’s decisions in recent months are often incomprehensible. After being Italian champion, President Aurelio De Laurentiis decided to replace Luciano Spalletti, who had resigned, with Frenchman Rudi Garcia. Surprising given the recent experiences of the Frenchman, who did not convince in Lyon or at Al-Nassr, in Saudi Arabia, where he trained Cristiano Ronaldo.
The start of the season for the Neapolitans confirmed the fears. While Diego Maradona’s former club dominated Serie A last season, they are fourth in the championship, already ten points behind Inter Milan, leader after twelve days. In the Champions League, the Neapolitans are second, with a good chance of qualifying for the round of 16.
But it was not good enough, judged Aurelio De Laurentiis after the home defeat against Empoli on Saturday (0-1), and in the face of the discontent of the supporters. The sulphurous Neapolitan president therefore decided to dismiss Garcia and replace him until the end of the season with… Walter Mazzarri, a former member of the house (between 2009 and 2013), who remains behind a catastrophic experience in Cagliari. Surprising, we tell you.
