«I am leaving for my daughter Matilda, she needs me»- Corriere.it

Luciano Spalletti received the coach of the year award in Coverciano at the Inside the Sport 2023 event, the transfer market between business and passion and from the stage he confirmed what De Laurentiis said on TV from Fazio: I don’t train Napoli or other teams . Why is he leaving? Sometimes you leave for love – he said -. For too much love. At my age I can decide to do anything. When you are faced with a city like Naples, which deserves things, you have to ask yourself if we are able to make them available. You go to Naples to win. In the first year we didn’t succeed and we were even criticized a little, so one asks: am I able to do this? This year I’m not able, so I take a little step back. And one of the issues I have to train Matilde. I have a little daughter and I want to spend some time with her. Then I need to rest because I feel a little tired and I want to be on the sidelines for a bit.

He added: De Laurentiis said what we said at the first dinner. I was the first to start talking because I said that this year I’m still, I’m not coaching Napoli or another team. I’m glad the president said it, otherwise it seemed to drag it out. Out of respect for the company, and since I was asked, it was right for the president to say so. If someone wants to come and put on their boots…. Spalletti and Napoli will say goodbye definitively after the celebration of June 4th and probably the formal question (there is an existing contract) will be resolved with a consensual resolution.
