Overview
- At his presentation, Luciano Spalletti set Champions League qualification as the minimum and said he hopes to re-enter the scudetto race.
- He leads his first training session today at Continassa and is scheduled to debut on the bench against Cremonese on Saturday, with a possible shift to a back four under evaluation.
- Spalletti confirmed four trusted collaborators — Marco Domenichini, Giovanni Martusciello, Salvatore Russo and Francesco Sinatti — and noted that Daniele Baldini will not be part of the staff.
- Director general Damien Comolli said Igor Tudor was dismissed for results, called the hire a shared decision, and underscored transfer-market constraints tied to Financial Fair Play.
- A Napoli ultras banner condemned Spalletti’s move; the coach reaffirmed his affection for the city and referenced his scudetto tattoo when addressing the backlash.
