Rafa Benitez and Rudi Garcia have both appealed for peace when Napoli and Roma come face to face tomorrow.
The two teams will clash for the first time since Napoli fan Ciro Esposito was fatally shot hours before the Coppa Italia Final in Rome last May, with a Giallorosso ultra standing accused.
As a consequence, Roma fans have been banned from attending the game and the team will travel by plane to avoid trouble.

In his Press conference earlier today, Roma Coach Rudi Garcia commented: “Football needs to be a celebration, not a war – friendship and respect for other teams.
“The great thing about football is it brings people together. A family should never have to think about whether or not to take their kids to the stadium.
“Coaches and players need to help create this atmosphere. I hope we see a real show in the stands, both at Napoli and in the reverse fixture.”
Counterpart Rafa Benitez agreed by sharing the same message of peace and mutual respect between the parties.
“Our message must be a football and a sports one,” the Spanish Coach told the media during his pre-match duties.
“Today our responsibility must be to send a message of calm, respect – that’s the only way we can honour Ciro’s memory.
“The only thing the two clubs and us involved can do is talk about football, just like we are doing right now, and honour Ciro. We shall only talk about great plays and mistakes.”
