Recent reports from Sky Sport Italia indicate that Napoli have offered Igor Tudor an initial contract until the end of the 2023-24 season to replace Rudi Garcia at the Stadio Maradona.
Tudor has been in direct conversation with Napoli and President Aurelio De Laurentiis on Monday, conducting a meeting which drew to a close in the early evening.
As per recent updates, Tudor will have presented his footballing ideas to the Napoli representatives as well as handing in a few personal requests.
Sky report that Tudor would have ideally wanted a longer contract in Naples, but is willing to accept the terms set out by De Laurentiis and his team. A final decision is still being discussed.
Official confirmation of current coach Rudi Garcia’s dismissal is still awaited, however reports on Sunday evening suggest that a decision to part ways was reached shortly after the 1-0 home loss to Empoli.
Monday morning’s papers confirmed that Garcia has since left Naples and has returned to his native France. He has also been in discussion with Napoli and De Laurentiis on Monday.
It is believed that Garcia will not resign from his position, meaning that Napoli will have to sack him and negotiate a compensation package.
