Almost two hours in which he tried to explain the reasons for the crisis Napoli, which slipped to seventh place in the standings in the post-championship season. Aurelio De Laurentiis gave his version of the problems that are characterizing the Azzurri. Basically there are two: not having insisted on Spalletti’s confirmation and not having sacked Rudi Garcia first.
INSIGHTS
De Laurentiis’ statements
They are Spalletti the Azzurri owner said: «I had given him a good contract, it was the same as Rafa Benitez. There was a unilateral renewal option that I exercised on April 21st after the elimination in the Champions League with Milan which disappointed me greatly. It was also a gesture to support him. Spalletti asked me for a sabbatical on May 12th at the famous dinner in Chiaia, but then accepted Gravina’s proposal. Maybe he had already received it. I probably should have insisted and asked to respect the commitment».
They are Rudi Garcia: «I didn’t have a boiled meat, but he obviously didn’t integrate. He said he didn’t know the history of the latest Napoli. I was wrong to accept Rongoni and not Sinatti who was our athletic trainer. I probably should have let him off soonerbut in hindsight it’s easy to say.”
They are Mazzarri: «He had the humility to get involved.
I asked him to copy Spalletti’s game, but this too was a mistake. Now he will have the full squad: it makes no sense for me to talk about another coach.”
On the future of the club: «By 2030 we will be on a par with the world powers. I will leave Castel Volturno within a year and a half. I will have to build a new sports center with twelve football fields and then I will think about the stadium. I spoke with the mayor: I want to close the issue within 120 days, otherwise I will go to Afragola, where the railway line will be implemented. I will make these investments, I don’t need financing. We will try to win the scudetto within three years».
They are Kvaratskhelia: «We will talk about the renewal at the end of the championship. Kvara feels comfortable here.”
