‘Shock’ Napoli’s reckless administration…Notified of renewal of contract without consulting the director |

[포포투=백현기]

Napoli have issued a rude notice against coach Luciano Spalletti.

Napoli won their first Serie A title in 33 years. It’s been a historic season for Napoli, but in fact, Napoli had a lot of worries ahead of this season. Team legends Dries Mertens, Lorenzo Insigne, Fabian Ruiz and David Ospina also left the team during the transfer window last summer. In addition, Kalidou Koulibaly, the leader of the defense, also moved to Chelsea.

But Napoli erased all these worries. At the center of that was the scouting ability of Cristiano Giuntoli. A lot of key members have been leaked this season, but general manager Giuntoli has completely filled the core of the team with cheap transfer fees. Ahead of the season, Napoli successfully reinforced its strength by recruiting Hvitza Kvarachhelia and Kim Min-jae.

In addition to efficient signings, Napoli displayed attacking football that was football-perfect. At the center was Spalletti. Spalletti tried attacking football as far as possible, and the players successfully implemented it on the pitch. Napoli would not have reached the current level without the scouting insight of Giuntoli and the leadership of Spalletti.

Napoli worked hard to renew the contract with manager Spalletti, who made history. Spalletti’s current contract is until June of this year. Since Spalletti had a good record, Napoli, led by Aurelio De Laurentiis, made steady efforts to renew Spalletti’s contract.

A renewal of the contract was also approaching. On the 14th (Korean time), according to the Italian media ‘Gazeta dello Sport’, “Coach Spalletti will remain at Napoli next season. Spalletti has been guaranteed player reinforcements by President De Laurentiis, and the salary will also increase by 25%.”

However, this was a unilateral notification from Naples. Recently, reports have emerged that Spalletti is likely to leave. Italian media ‘Corriere dell’Sport’ said, ‘Spalletti was notified through a letter from an executive at the headquarters that his contract was extended until 2024, and he did not hide his disappointment.”

It is truly a ‘reckless’ style of administration. The board of Napoli gave notice on the premise of renewing the contract without consulting Spalletti at all. Spalletti felt anger at this, and now the emotional goal between the club and Spalletti has deepened.

The media said, “Coach Spalletti expressed bitterness about being confirmed as the next coach of Napoli without consulting him. added.

Meanwhile, if Spalletti leaves the team, Rafael Benitez is being discussed as his successor. ‘Gazzetta dello Sport’ reported that “President De Laurentiis is considering hiring Benitez if Spalletti leaves.” Benitez has led Napoli for two years since 2013, and is said to have maintained a close relationship with President De Laurentiis.
