Luciano Spalletti will leave SSC Napoli after winning the Italian championship this year and take a break. The 64-year-old actually has a contract until 2024.
“But when someone comes and says: I’ve reached the maximum, a phase of my life is over. I still have a contract with you, but I’d like to take a year’s sabbatical. What do you do then? Do you oppose this?“, asked club president Aurelio De Laurentiis and answered himself in the well-known TV program “Che Tempo Che Fa” of the channel Rai3: “You always have to be generous.”
Spalletti already indicated farewell
Spalletti sensationally guided Napoli to their third championship title in the club’s history this season. It was the first success in Serie A since 1990, when world star Diego Maradona was still playing at the foot of Mount Vesuvius. For some time now, however, there have been signs that the coach will leave the club in the summer. “Everything is clear and discussed, it just needs to be communicated“Spalletti had recently commented on reporters’ questions about his future. There was said to have been a crisis between the coach and the president.
