The Azzurri supporters on social media are perplexed and very critical of De Laurentiis. Many fear the worst and some comments are very harsh: “I’ll stop following football”. However, there are also many posts in favor of the Tuscan coach: “He is welcome”
There are games in which players are said to throw their hearts over the obstacle. There are stories, like the one between Aurelio De Laurentiis and Massimiliano Allegri, that overcome even the most ferocious media storms. Negative social comments and a city almost in revolt were not enough to make the Napoli president desist from the decision to bring the now former AC Milan coach into the shadow of Vesuvius. After all, if only twelve months ago Max had been awarded by the Italian president as the best successor to Conte who had just won the championship, it would have been ungenerous to cancel the esteem in light of the tragic end of the season with the Rossoneri. Well, Aurelio De Laurentiis, in agreement with sporting director Giovanni Manna, has chosen Massimiliano Allegri as Napoli’s bench. The most guaranteed decision, the most obvious, the most conservative, which had cooled, initially, due to the renewed trust of the Rossoneri management towards the Tuscan coach and, in the last hours, due to the strongly negative, at times violent, comments of the Napoli fans, who would have preferred Vincenzo Italiano as the “lesser evil”.

De Laurentiis, who often communicates through After the failure to qualify for the Champions League with Milan and the subsequent dismissal, Allegri was literally massacred on social media: “If Allegri comes to Naples I will stop following the ball permanently”, “I don’t deserve the centenary year with Allegri”, “Prehistoric football, how can you imagine Allegri at Napoli?”, “President, I trust your choices, but Allegri as coach of Napoli is a disaster”. The requests of the Napoli fans did not go unheeded by Adl, who during the peak of the shitstorm against Max, arranged the meeting with Vincenzo Italiano who, for his part, was unable to sweep away the doubts. So much so that, ironically, just as Italiano was terminating his contract with Bologna, the future of the Azzurri bench came to fruition. Upon hearing the news of Allegri joining Napoli, the Azzurri supporters immediately flocked to social media. The haters kept faith with the negative comments: “I don’t believe it, Allegri at Napoli. I have no words”, “Napoli to Allegri, that bullshit of Allegri”, “Allegri-Napoli surprised me”.

However, a large part of the Azzurri fans began to give their warm welcome to Max: “We have supported Italiano up until today, from now on come on Allegri, because Napoli comes first”, “Welcome Massimiliano Allegri. Anyone who settles in our city will be welcome”, “I will support Allegri until his last day of contract, for the good of the shirt. I hope he proves everyone wrong and brings Naples their fifth championship. Come on Naples always.”
