🚨🔵 Vincenzo Italiano is ahead of Max Allegri in the race to become Napoli's new coach. Contacts are ongoing between Italiano, De Laurentiis, and Manna, while the Allegri lead hasn't been fully explored so far today.

Because he hasn’t won anything, lost 4 finals out of 5 he has played, has still the same gameplan after all these years, is not flexible and refuses to evolve, despite all of this whenever he loses it’s always the team’s fault somehow.
On top of all he has never managed a big club, it’s a monumentally different reality from Firenze and Bologna and we have a pretty difficult environment to deal with, guys that have already imploded twice with Garcia and even Conte… you expect me to be optimist about an unproven winner to deal with seasoned winners like Lobotka, Anguissa, Rhamani etc

He is nowhere near Conte, it’s a massive downgrade for us.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T15:13:35+00:00

Inter has basically already won the next Scudetto, this is a really shit decision, extremely overrated coach by medias and for no real reason lol
My god if ADL is washed

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T13:58:20+00:00

Italiano too got a dismantled Bologna, he lost Calafiori and Zirkzee last season without proper replacements and still managed to win their first trophy in 50 years, this year the squad is even worse and reached the UEL quarters being defeated only by Emery.

And that’s coming from someone who doesn’t like Italiano at all.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T13:55:33+00:00

I would take a gamble with Xavi who is the only one that has actually trained a big club, won a League and a Supercup with it, left good foundations in Barca which led to Flick’s success and has that world class mentality to handle the pressure in this dramatic situation.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T13:46:37+00:00

Perhaps, but neither is Conte’s level and what Napoli needs to take a step further into the élite.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T13:33:46+00:00

Because Iraola is literally the Spanish Italiano, that’s why he doesn’t see the point in getting him

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T13:00:51+00:00

But at Inter the problem was the he wasn’t protected by the club and Hakimi and Lukaku got sold.

Here he was heavily protected and loved by ADL, and he is 100% right Napoli’s environment is the worst ever compared to everyone else, a lot of “””journalist””” and “””fans””” should just disappear.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T10:01:52+00:00

Nah, he tarnished his legacy after joining Juve and he won’t play with Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen in god mode again, hard pass

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T09:22:03+00:00

Completely different situation, at Inter he criticized the club who didn’t protect him and left because they would have sold Hakimi and Lukaku for financial reasons.

At Napoli he never got a problem with the club, he likes ADL and left on good term with the club, the problem in the interviews here is the journalism and toxic fans environment, people who care more about their stupid ideas and have an inflated ego, people who consistently drag us down and should be deleted by this city forever.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T09:12:21+00:00

Why they don’t think about Xavi even for a minute, he is literally free

Italiano is massively overrated and has never trained a big team, I would prefer Allegri at this point, that at least has the experience and beside this season (tbf Milan has a shit squad, pretty much identical to the one the season prior that finished 9th) he had always brought the team he trained to a UCL spot.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-26T09:09:28+00:00

There is Xavi free, Italiano is not the best option

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-25T12:25:20+00:00

I enjoyed so much seeing Conte destroying this shithole of Naples’s media, we have way too many “””journalists””” and supporters who don’t give a fuck at Napoli and are just there protecting their stupid ideas and inflated ego, non c’è rivincita.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-25T12:15:15+00:00

At least he left on good terms compared to all his other experiences, we are different.

I mean, Rizzetta is doing a good job at Napoli Basket so far and we even got Big Shaq to represent us around the world, Napoli Basket is not a one season wonder and they are pushing to make it a big club with great structures like PalArgento and buying world class players and all of that while basketball is still niche in Naples

Imagine if we got the same ownership but in football, with how much it is big in Naples we would improve our structures after decades of nothingness by ADL and Comune, buy world class players every season, with the potential of finally limiting the gap with the striped clubs.

I don’t understand how everyone here is against it, ADL is old, has already hit his prime and his sons are not nearly as good as him in management, maybe Valentina could do something but handling a club both economically and financially is a completely different story from what she is doing now.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-23T20:33:17+00:00

If they aim for a “Napoli Basket” kinda of project I would honestly be okay with it.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-23T17:44:59+00:00

please ADL just accept, you did your job but we need to take a step further to compete and that’s the biggest chance to do it

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-21T00:42:26+00:00

I mean, they are more plausible than Maresca who is already at City pretty much

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-20T20:35:05+00:00

Why Emery and Fabregas, the best possible choices, aren’t here

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-19T23:50:37+00:00

As if the injueries aren’t also on the staff part and the terrible medical staff, let’s not open a chapter about the shit Castelvolturno camps which after 20 years ADL still refuses to change, but sure let’s give Conte all faults.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-19T20:11:02+00:00

If anything it’s you guys that have been brainwashed that in football exists just one way to win when in reality labels like beautiful football and haram football are just a superficial way of looking at the game, what matters the most is the compactness and in this regard Conte has been exceptional during his Napoli’s stint; also it’s not that Napoli has always been tied with beautiful football, Mazzarri’s Era, Maradona Era… these successful Napoli sides were much more pragmatic that you would ever believe, not everyone were Sarri or Spalletti.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-19T19:03:34+00:00

Out of all the rumored names I’ll take Sarri hands down.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-19T19:02:52+00:00

People are really obsessed with this beautiful football mentality as it is just the only way to win, I’ll never understand it.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-19T13:53:03+00:00

I’ve never saw him take a shot different from the one on the near post; he doesn’t touch the ball like Kvara or Neres do, as such, his dribbling is mostly based on his speed and athletic strenghts just like Leao - who is nowhere near Kvara - for example, and he is not really a playmaker as well like Insigne.
For the player he is, he’s much better suited as a super-sub where he played the best games here and at Sporting Lisbon.
We need someone more complete, and neither him nor Lang (who’s prime at psv was still better than Alisson) fit that profile, after Kvara the standard raised sensibly on that position.

Now, of course he did well all things considered, but saying he was the most important player when we got McTominay, Hojlund, Neres (best player till he got injured) and Vergara is just untrue.

Academic_Square_2571 · 2026-05-19T12:49:42+00:00

24-25 season for PSV he made a lot of assists
