June 15, (THEWILL) – Former AS Roma manager, Rudi Garcia, has been appointed as the new head coach of Serie A giants, SSC Napoli, the club confirmed on Thursday.
Garcia, who recently parted ways with Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr, will take over the reins from Luciano Spalletti, who guided Napoli to their first Scudetto title in over three decades with star forward, Victor Osimhen, spearheading the attack line. The announcement was made through the club’s official website and social media platforms.
In an official statement, SSC Napoli declared: “Rudi Garcia has been named as Napoli’s new coach!” Garcia, known for his previous experience in Italian football, including his successful tenure at AS Roma, is now tasked with leading Osimhen and his Napoli teammates to further success, following their recent triumph. The club’s faithful will be hoping that Garcia’s appointment will provide the continuity needed to build on their achievements and propel them to new heights in the upcoming season.
With Napoli basking in the taste of victory, President Aurelio de Laurentiis and the club’s hierarchy are confident that Garcia is the right man to guide them forward. The announcement of his appointment marks the beginning of a new chapter for Napoli as they aim to maintain their winning momentum and satisfy the high expectations of their passionate supporters.
Whether Osimhen will be a part of that chapter however, remains uncertain at this time. This is especially as de Laurentiis is particular about retaining his services for the I Partenopei and has priced him excessively to discourage interest in the 24-year-old Nigerian international.
