Naples, ds surprise: De Laurentiis announces Mauro Meluso

NAPLES – Cristiano Giuntoli’s heir is a surprise name, which Aurelio De Laurentiis made it official with a tweet. “I am pleased to announce that Mauro Meluso is the new sporting director of Napoli. Welcome to our family and best wishes for your work”, the president wrote on his social profile. The box just vacated by the former sports director, who moved to Juventus a few days ago after having worked for the blue club for eight seasons, is filled in.

Adl has focused again on a little-known profile, as it did in 2015 by fishing Giuntoli from the Carpi. Meluso returns to the scene two years after his divorce with Spezia. Calabrian from Cosenza, 58, a former striker with some presence in Serie A at Lazio and Cremonese, the new manager of the Italian champions will above all have the task of standing next to Rudi Garcia, but will obviously collaborate with De Laurentiis and the scouting managers (Micheli and Mantovani) also on the market.
