Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has a real reason for concern as the club look set to miss out on over €100m in potential revenues.
The Partenopei have been in a state of chaos in the six months following their Scudetto success, dismissing both Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzarri over the last few months following a severe downturn in form and results. Slovakia coach Francesco Calzona is currently in charge until the summer.
Napoli again failed to find a win in their clash with Cagliari on Sunday, being held to a 1-1 draw by Claudio Ranieri’s side. The team now sit ninth in the league table, 11 points behind fourth place Bologna.
As reported by Corriere dello Sport via TMW, Napoli are now on track to miss out on both the Champions League and the new Club World Cup, competitions that bring over €100m in revenues together to participating clubs.
De Laurentiis is desperate for the club to qualify for some form of international competition, not wanting the club to entirely miss out on European tournaments.
Is this a bad time to thank ADL for a FREE €40M rated Zielinski transfer to Inter?
Sad to see Napoli crumble like this after they gave calcio fans such entertaining and beautiful football last campaign.
