The president attended training and spoke again with the coach, whose position remains linked to the next results
Castel Volturno is scorching hot in these days of high temperatures, but not even the strong heat seemed to touch Rudi Garcia. Yesterday he returned from France and, after a hit and run at his home in Posillipo, he went to the sports centre. He has prepared the program for today, with double training, both in the morning and in the afternoon. As he had anticipated, Aurelio De Laurentiis followed the work closely and between one session and another he took the opportunity to have a discussion with the technician in the premises of the headquarters. A clarification was necessary, after the president concretely evaluated the Frenchman’s dismissal to entrust the bench to Antonio Conte. The former coach’s refusal indirectly confirmed Garcia, but it is already a matter of the past.

The present and future of Napoli are the priority, compactness is imperative as is the continuity of results. In this sense, the coach has a week and three games to send clear signs of a turning point. The Azzurri’s next matches are rather treacherous, so an adequate response will be needed from the team and the technical staff. When the championship resumes, Napoli will start again from Verona, a very organized team that concedes little. Then another away match, against Union Berlin in the Champions League, to then welcome Milan to Maradona. The minimum threshold is seven points, in all likelihood: Garcia cannot afford any false steps.
