«Should I stay in Naples? Society has to say so»- Corriere.it

He too won the Oscar, because for Luciano Spalletti, the coach of the Napoli champion of Italy, the Bulgarelli award – received in the morning in Bologna – represents just this. For those of my generation, the Bulgarelli Award is like an Oscar for cinema – he said -. Giacomo Bulgarelli was an important part of the history of Bologna thanks to your perseverance. Receiving this award in the year in which Napoli became champions of Italy, with the cry of ‘Everything for her’, assumes particular importance for me and for this too I want to thank those who allowed me to receive it, namely my players and Napoli Calcio. My players worked hard all year round, they did everything very well, giving great availability in training and in matches. They demonstrated that attachment to the shirt, something Giacomo Bulgarelli was an absolute master at.

Spalletti thanks in particular Cristiano Giuntoli, who in these days is negotiating the contractual termination with De Laurentiis, to marry the Juventus cause. When you go to put your hand on the team heavily, as happened – he added – you have to replace the strong players with as many strong players. Were they unknown? Yes, but there are videos, there is news, there are team mates and there is information. The major part is done by the director Giuntoli who has great quality in doing it. The coach could not escape the questions of many fans present – he was greeted with an ovation – questions about his future. Open smile and cunning eye, he doesn’t answer the question directly but says: What if I stay in Naples? Society has to say it: write this too, but I had already said it…. And he smiles again. Before the match against Monza, Spalletti met De Laurentiis for dinner in Naples to plan the new season.
