Mimmo Malfitano, a veteran journalist from Gazzetta dello Sport, spoke on the `Fuorigioco` program on Tele A, sharing his thoughts on Napoli`s recent activities. He highlighted Napoli`s significant investment of 175 million euros in the summer, covering both player acquisitions and technical staff.
Malfitano questioned why, with such a substantial investment and a coach like Conte signing a three-year contract, one wouldn`t assume there are already guarantees in place for the future. He emphasized Napoli`s objective to return to European competition, specifically the Champions League, suggesting that the club must have planned further significant investments to achieve this goal.
He then posed questions regarding the logic of Conte leaving Napoli, comparing it to Inzaghi`s long tenure at Inter and Allegri`s extended cycle at Juventus. Malfitano argued that if the club president provides the resources a coach requests, there should be no reason for departure. He also touched upon rumors of Kvaratskhelia`s potential exit from the previous year and questioned the speculation around Napoli potentially spending heavily on players like Garnacho or Comuzzo. Malfitano concluded that if Conte were to leave, it would be an unreasonable decision.
