In the 2022~23 season, the Serie A has created many surprises for the world, such as Milan's semi-finals of the Champions League, and the Nerazzurri have the opportunity to reach the top of Europe; Roma and Purple Lily also reached the finals of the Europa League and UEFA Cup respectively, winning comprehensively; And the fact that Napoli squeezed out many good players in the league and reached the top is also something that many people did not expect. This all seems to be driving Serie A towards a renaissance, and everyone is looking forward to the glory of the small World Cup of yesteryear.
But for Napoli, there have been a lot of trouble lately. According to several Italian media reports such as Milano Sport and Roma Sport, there is an insurmountable rift between Napoli president De Laurentiis and manager Spalletti (the German said to his subordinates that he does not want to see Spalletti next season!). ）。 The two sides are even in a tense relationship, with Spalletti saying he will automatically leave after managing Napoli's game against Bologna and will no longer be the head coach of the new Serie A champions club. After all, his contract is also about to expire.
This news really detonated the entire network, you must know that the manager who won the championship and left the class is rare, and Spalletti led Napoli to achieve a youth storm counterattack without being favored, and won the first Serie A trophy in the team's history in 33 years. The feats are outstanding.
The main thing that disrupts the relationship between De Laurentiis and Spalletti is the capital problem, and it is reported that Spalletti, who now earns only 2.8 million a year, asked for a salary increase of 4.5 million, which has become the level of a Serie A champion-level coach. This requirement is indeed not excessive on paper. For example, Milan's Pioli (4 million), Inter Inzaghi Jr. (5.5 million), etc., are all managers of this level, not to mention Allegri (7 million), Mourinho (7 million) level. Spalletti is indeed unhappy.
Having won the Serie A title, Spalletti also deserves the price. De Laurentiis, on the other hand, was unwilling to offer Spalletti such a high salary, only offering a price of about 3.5 million. This is the main reason for the disagreement between the two sides. Spalletti was faceless.
Secondly, the two seem to have different views on the future development plan of Naples. Spalletti is keen to build on that, especially as Milan have gone further in this season, which has given him a lot of confidence. He may want De Laurentiis to keep his main squad in the summer transfer window while buying a few more reliable helpers to make a big splash in Europe next season. However, De Laurentiis not only does not want to buy people, but may also want to cash out the main players in the team, including Osmayne and Kvaratshelia, Kim Minya and other high positions, to meet his own financial gains, which makes Spalletti very dissatisfied.
At present, the transfer news of Osmayne is flying, Kim Minya seems to have reached an intention to cooperate with Manchester United, and Kvarac Helia is also targeted by many giants. If Napoli disintegrate, Spalletti's vision will certainly not be realized next season.
In addition to this, Spade Laurentiis seems to have a certain opinion about Spalletti personally, he does not prefer the bald boss to continue to coach the team, but wants to invite Benitez. Or Conte to lead the team, the boss can't see that no matter how hard you try, it's useless.
