“I Am Having a Bad Time With Him” Napoli CEO Criticizes Head Coach Rudi Garcia

Aurelio De Laurentiis, the owner and CEO of Napoli, has made startling criticisms of the team’s head coach, Rudi Garcia. As it is now, Garcia might lose his job after the team suffered consecutive losses to Real Madrid and Fiorentina.

De Laurentiis, the owner of the team, has confessed he is not enjoying Garcia’s tenure as coach. He has also made strong suggestions that he might be fired soon if things don’t change. Speaking at an event at the University of Rome, De Laurentiis said:

“I am having a bad time with him. I am an entrepreneur and I must be interested in what happens inside the company. The coach and the sports director are at your service. I will make appropriate decisions at the right time. The environment can’t influence me, one must always take time to think. Every hasty decision is a wrong decision. In life, it’s not possible to have everything here and now.”

“It is necessary to keep our heads down and work hard. When you hire a coach who no longer knows Italian football, it’s normal to struggle, the same would have happened to everyone. It’s useless to blame newcomers, football is not like a building under construction, which won’t collapse if you are sure it was built well. In football, there are incidents, injuries, and suspensions.”

“There is no mathematical solution to win the title and I believe we’ll be in the race until the end of this season. Aside from choosing him, my only responsibility is that I could not remain close to him every day at Castel Volturno.”

The CEO of Napoli has also disclosed that before hiring Garcia, he spoke with Thiago Motta and Luis Enrique.

He added: “I interviewed Thiago Motta, but he didn’t want to take the risk of replacing a coach who had achieved so much. I called Luis Enrique too and luckily he went to France. Look at the results he’s having. He didn’t convince me during a round of talks that lasted three days. I called many coaches.”

Officials from Napoli, including the CEO, have reportedly discussed Garcia future with the head coach during a crisis meeting on Monday. There are also rumours that the club would think about hiring Antonio Conte as manager if they decide to part with their current one.
