Foggia did also praise the Streghe’s president Oreste Vigorito.

"He is a man and an executive from another time. It is also exciting to be in contact with Filippo Inzaghi, but during matches I do not go on the pitch otherwise we would end up fighting.”

Foggia, a former midfielder with 170 Serie A caps to his name, did also discuss Napoli’s chances to win the Serie A title this season.

“They can fight for the Scudetto. Napoli will be among the protagonists until the end. The club invested where reinforcements were needed".
