The president of blue he doesn’t listen to reason: the goal is to win again. Two world football stars are arriving.
The football season of Naples it certainly cannot be considered to live up to the fans’ expectations. Trying to do a little refresher of last football season, the blue they had succeeded in the arduous task of winning the third Scudetto in history after 33 years of waiting.
This year, however, the year is comparable to the transition into a purgatory. Ending with an almost certain failure to qualify for the next European competitions certainly defines this year as a failure.
There were three coaches who succeeded one another on the bench. After the farewell of Luciano Spalletti, in fact, the president Aurelio De Laurentiis had entrusted the keys of the team to the Frenchman Rudi Garcia, sacked after the home defeat against Empoli, at the time coached by Aurelio Andreazzoli.
The society Neapolitan it was then entrusted to Walter Mazzarri who, after more than 10 years of absence, returned by winning away from home against Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta but was unable to leave his mark as happened in Napoli’s return to the Champions League in 2014.
The relay on the bench
Unfortunately, his journey to the second call also ended prematurely with great disappointment on the part of the president and his family who have always shown themselves to be very affectionate towards the Tuscan coach. After him, he was appointed coach Ciccio Calzona. The latter, technical commissioner of the Slovakian national team, is also known to Azzurri fans for having been on Maurizio Sarri’s staff in Napoli a few years ago.
Initially he seemed to be the right man capable of leading the team towards the epilogue of this season, but the performances and results completely highlighted that the problems in the team were indeed very serious. For next year, it looks like the patron of the blue can focus on a winning coach with a great personality. We are insistently talking about profiles like that of Gian Piero Gasperini or Stefano Pioli even if the favorite remains Antonio Conte.
Luis Alberto and Immobile in the sights
With the Apulian coach, however, the issue related to salary would have to be resolved which, to date, would be out of the club’s reach Neapolitan. If Conte were to sit on the bench of the blue, could require two players above all to strengthen the squad in the best possible way. Considering the almost certain departure of Victor Osimhen towards Paris Saint-Germain, we can hypothesize that the two objectives of the new Napoli could come from president Claudio Lotito’s Lazio.
In particular, two names above all would seem to be suitable for rebirth blue. The first is Spanish Luis Alberto and the second is the Campania bomber Ciro Immobile. The latter, who has never played for Napoli, would return to his city and could rise again in search of redemption considering this last football season is not among the most prolific of his career.
