Igor Tudor is the clear favorite to take over the Napoli job, as Rudi Garcia is on the verge of being fired. However, the parties haven’t struck an agreement just yet. They’ll hold a key meeting in Rome later today, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
The whole Azzurri brass will be present, including director Mauro Meluso, Maurizio Micheli, and manager Andrea Chiavelli, who handles the contracts.
Napoli and the agent of Tudor need to come to an understanding. The gaffer would like a longer deal and not just a seven-month one. It remains to be determined whether he or the club will budge.
Team president Aurelio De Laurentiis would like to seal the deal on Monday to start the new era right away and give the new boss the full international break to work with the squad. At this stage, the only real fallback is Walter Mazzarri, who’d accept a short-term pact.
However, the patron generally doesn’t hire back coaches he already had in the past, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs. He watched the past game alongside Fabio Cannavaro, who could be a last-ditch option.
Our Take on Napoli and Tudor
There aren’t many available alternatives, and the Azzurri will have to live with the consequences of their summer blunder. There are big tactical concerns, but at least the Croat is a fierier manager and could wake them up.
