The surprising Napoli of Luciano Spalletti is close to winning the Serie A with several matchdays in advance. They have also comfortably reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The Italian manager has done a great job. For that reason, Aurelio De Laurentiis, president of the Neapolitan team, confirmed that he will continue in the next season. In this way, he will continue to coach Hirving Lozano, Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia, among other players.
"If the rules of football were different, maybe we would have taken the Scudetto to Naples other times. At the end of the season, it will be a big celebration. Spalletti will stay in Naples," were the words of De Laurentiis. The coach will continue working with the Mexican forward, as long as the player does not leave the team in the summer transfer market.
The top executive of the Italian team also recalled why they decided to sign Luciano Spalletti. "He was a happy intuition, when Gattuso didn't feel well I found him in one of those immense skyscrapers, it was the second time I met him because Spalletti had already asked to come with us before," he added.
Finally, the president hopes that Lozano and other stars of the team will stay for the next season. However, he is aware that offers are coming in for some players. "There is always an indecent proposal... others make the numbers. We wait. They are extraordinary guys. My contracts are unique, so nobody moves if we say no. We'll see," he concluded.
Napoli: When will they be Serie A champions?
Napoli has a 19-point advantage over second-place Lazio in Serie A. They are one step away from being Italian champions for the first time since the 89/90 season, when the legendary Diego Maradona was in the team. If the advantage is maintained, the Neapolitan team would be crowned champions on matchday 32, which will be played in late April.
However, they could do it even earlier if Lazio or Inter stumble in their upcoming matches. For the Hirving Lozano's team, it is important to define the domestic title as soon as possible. Not only to end that thirty-year drought, but also to focus on the Champions League. The quarterfinals against Milan will not be easy.
