Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis accuses club legend Diego Maradona of being ‘sensationalist’.

The Partenopei hero criticised Coach Maurizio Sarri this week, saying that his old club would not win anything under the former Empoli Coach.

“Maradona is the greatest character who has ever existed in football,” De Laurentiis told Pupia TV.

“But he’s in Dubai, and he just makes sensationalist statements to have an impact. It’s like throwing a stone into a pond and watching the ripples.

The Partenopei hero criticised Coach Maurizio Sarri this week, saying that his old club would not win anything under the former Empoli Coach.

“Maradona is the greatest character who has ever existed in football,” De Laurentiis told Pupia TV.

“But he’s in Dubai, and he just makes sensationalist statements to have an impact. It’s like throwing a stone into a pond and watching the ripples.

“Maradona no longer knows the reality of Naples, he gives his thoughts from afar and doesn’t take the difficulties of the city into account.”

De Laurentiis also took the unusual step of assuring fans they don’t have to go to the stadium to support the team.

“I hope the fans who won’t be at the stadium will be watching us on TV. I wouldn’t make them feel obliged to spend their money. It’s not a question of enthusiasm, you either have it or you don’t.

“If you’re in love with your wife, but you don’t say it every night, that doesn’t mean it’s not true.”
