Napoli Passed, Carlo Ancelotti is Still Fired

DBasia.news –  The success of Napoli qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League was unable to save Carlo Ancelotti, who remained fired after the game. Napoli won the Champions League group stage ticket after a 4-0 win over Genk on Wednesday early morning Western Indonesian Time.

“Societa Sportiva Calcio Napoli has decided to revoke the role of the first-team coach from Carlo Ancelotti,” explained the official I partenopei statement as quoted from the club’s official Twitter account.

The statement also revealed, “Friendship and mutual respect between the club, President Aurelio De Laurentiis and Carlo Ancelotti remain good.”

The dismissal of Carlo Ancelotti was accelerated. In fact, the meeting of the former Bayern Munich coach with Aurelio De Laurentiis will take place the next day after the match against Genk. However, the meeting was apparently carried out immediately after the fight was over.

The dismissal proves the existence of insurmountable friction between the coach and Aurelio De Laurentiis. As reported by the Italian media, the relationship between the two has deteriorated lately. Especially when he sided with the players in the case of defiance a few weeks ago.

The news circulating stated, the position of the coach will be filled by Gennaro Gattuso. The former AC Milan coach was reported to have met with Aurelio De Laurentiis and agreed on an initial contract of 18 months to deal with Drie Mertens et al.

This dismissal became the following bitter experience experienced by Carlo Ancelotti. This repeats the experience of the 2017-18 season when he was sacked by Bayern Munich because of friction with several players and the ranks of the club’s terrace.
