The announcement comes via Twitter: «I am pleased to announce that Luciano Spalletti will be the new Napoli coach starting from next July 1st. Welcome Luciano, together we will do a great job ». So the president of Napoli Aurelio De Laurentiis welcomed the new blue coach.
Spalletti returns to coach in Serie A two years after the divorce from Inter. The Tuscan coach had led the Nerazzurri from 2017 to 2019. He signed a two-year contract with Napoli with the aim of bringing the Azzurri team back to the Champions League and making them forget the bitter disappointment of the season just ended. The coach from Certaldo will have a salary of almost 3 million euros per season and will take the place of Rino Gattuso. Napoli returns to rely on a Tuscan coach after the excellent results obtained in the recent past first by Walter Mazzarri and then by Maurizio Sarri.
