The words of the well-known manager
Carlo Jacomuzzi, well-known manager, commented on Napoli’s season on Radio Marte:
“Napoli experienced a particular season, with many manager changes that did not allow them to have a recognizable and clear tactical identity and with players with uncertain contractual situations. It was the club that transferred these uncertainties. If we consider that Bari also is in the same conditions as Napoli, there are doubts about the management by the owners, who manage both football teams. Would Napoli need a general manager? In Naples, a single person decides everything, everything depends and passes through him. All employees must pass through his filter. Failed markets? The players purchased by De Laurentiis could undoubtedly do well in Naples, they are not players who were bought at random or to save money, because the Azzurri owner invested a lot in the market. The new additions, however, found themselves in a particular, complicated situation and struggled to make an impact and adapt, failing to find a way and space to assert themselves also due to the various changes to the technical leadership of the team. De Laurentiis he cannot be questioned as an entrepreneur, he has done very well in the cinema and beyond: football, however, is a strange subject, you need to be guided and advised by expert people. Future coach? Conte would be the best but he wants to decide everything, even the players to buy. He legitimately wants to manage everything personally: see when he said goodbye to Juve because they didn’t satisfy him on the transfer market. Conte knows how to manage and wants to manage everything: an intermediate figure would be needed between him and De Laurentiis to act as an intermediary to avoid direct clashes. Summer revolution? The team is there and has quality. The year went like this because the owner is a president who hammers, the coach often found himself in the locker room, the DS in fact seems to be deprived of authority, the players appeared to lack safe guidance. We must not make the mistake of considering these players to be poor, as they have important qualities as the match against Roma also demonstrated.”
