They headed to Napoli’s training centre in Castel Volturno, where they will discuss the club’s transfer strategies for the summer.
“We are here with our new coach and there is great optimism,” De Laurentiis said once they arrived at Castel Volturno with his son Edoardo.
“First of all, I want to tell ‘Forza Napoli’ to the fans, as they say: ‘I will be with you,'” added Spalletti.
The Tuscan mentioned the ultras motto: ‘Sarò con te’ (I will be with you) and added: “I am honoured to be the new Napoli coach, I will give my best.
“I’ve loved the cities where I’ve worked, I am looking forward to knowing Napoli.”
#Spalletti: "Sono felicissimo ed onoratissimo di essere il nuovo allenatore, metterò tutto me stesso a disposizione per il bene del #Napoli. Ho amato le città dove ho lavorato e la felicità delle città è diversa: dipende dal contesto, e Napoli non vedo l'ora di conoscerla bene”
