FIFA agent Jose Alberti has criticised Napoli management, labelled the club ‘a real disaster’ and suggested Gonzalo Higuain is unhappy.
The Vesuviani are in a period of crisis to begin the season, following up early Champions League elimination with a three-game winless run in Serie A.
“After the defeat against Athletic Bilbao we heard a lot of useless proclamations about the strength of the team and winning the League,” FIFA agent Alberti has told Tuttomercatoweb on the issues at hand.

The Vesuviani are in a period of crisis to begin the season, following up early Champions League elimination with a three-game winless run in Serie A.
“After the defeat against Athletic Bilbao we heard a lot of useless proclamations about the strength of the team and winning the League,” FIFA agent Alberti has told Tuttomercatoweb on the issues at hand.
“Napoli's transfer campaign was disastrous, and the blame surely lies with management. Though it's true, what with missing out on the Champions League and the Sky TV rights, along with the sales of the seasonal tickets, they lost €50m.
“The owners must take some action, the team that I see at the moment is not one that can qualify for the Champions League.”
Asked about the defensive crisis, he stated: “When your adversaries have the ball, the defenders must play as defenders, they should be man-marking like Bruscolotti and Bagni used to do.
“You can't go for zonal marking. Besides, if you regain the ball in defence you have to pass it forward to the midfielders. The defenders shouldn't be going ahead to score the goals.”
Alberti further added fuel to the fire by claiming that Gonzalo Higuain is unhappy.
“He is fed up with the whole situation, he's playing up there on his own. Napoli had 38 shots and scored two goals, these numbers are absurd.”
