The former defender was in the stands watching the match against Empoli. Tudor is the number one alternative.
It’s all over for Rudi Garcia and Napoli. The latest disappointment that was has handed to Aurelio De Laurentiis and its supporters in the home defeat against Empoli brings the end of his Azzurri tenure.
Thus, just as it happened a month ago, a moment of deep reflection on the coach’s work opens up, which so far has not convinced the president at all. Dismissal seems the most logical consequence after a stinging defeat like the one suffered today against a team that fights for a relegation.
ALTERNATIVES
Considering that the past approaches for Antonio Conte have not yielded the desired outcome, it is reasonable to assume that contacts with the former national team will not resume. Thus, at the current state of affairs, two profiles are actively being considered.
Fabio Cannavaro, who has never hidden his desire to lead Napoli, is a possibility and was also present in the stands alongside the president. Another hypothesis leads to Igor Tudor, who has the advantage of knowing the Serie A well as a coach and has the necessary character to quickly get the team back on track, at least in terms of attitude.
The chances of a caretaker coming from the past are residual: in this regard, the only feasible option would lead to Walter Mazzarri. However, De Laurentiis has previously expressed skepticism about a rekindling of the flame with someone he has already worked with.
