Enrico Fedele, sports manager, spoke to Radio Marte during Marte Sport Live: “Napoli must free themselves from that shell of exaggerated euphoria that led everyone – players, managers, public – to fly without wings. We need to get back down to earth and let those who know how to do the job do the job. Getting to the Champions League zone was the main objective, but this year it was a failure because we were unable to defend the championship, in fact we humiliated it and it’s a serious thing. The championship will be remembered after 33 years but also the following year as the worst holder of it. It seems like decades have passed since the Italian season.
Which goodbye weighed the most? We praised Kim, who isn’t playing today. In that moment and in that team he did amazing things, at Bayern he has disappointed so far. Napoli’s problem is not physical (Sinatti’s return demonstrates this) but is psychological. Napoli was a team without great champions but cemented by Spalletti and Giuntoli.
Napoli needs 6-7 additions: I would confirm Lobotka, Kvara, Politano and Rui who have just been confirmed, Di Lorenzo has to decide if he wants to stay and I would keep him, Anguissa I would confirm. I would try to retain Raspadori in the absence of important offers and Lindstrom who in my opinion can give more.
Cheerful? He has won six championships, more than Conte: he is the Trapattoni of the year 2000. He worked his way up, won with Milan and Juve. Let’s remember that in Naples we sacrificed a certain Ancelotti.
Which department should be strengthened the most? Above all, the defense needs to be strengthened with two defenders and a goalkeeper. De Laurentiis did great things as a manager but when he wanted to disguise himself as a football expert without anyone who knows football, he went beyond reason. As winners of the scudetto we were unworthy and it is something we will carry with us. We will be close to the owner who, however, will have to do things as they are done in a large company.
Manna’s choice immediately makes us think that we are back to square one: to counter this argument we need to get a good coach and a football man. Manna is young, he has no authority at the moment, experience is important. If he was hired to create a management team it’s one thing, if he has to do everything himself it’s another. With Giuntoli, Juve gave full powers to the latter, perhaps considering Manna too young to make a certain type of speech. For me it’s fine that he has full powers such as scouting and organization but we also need a great manager who has autonomy and authority.”
