Zielinski Reserves Praise for Spalletti Ahead of Ancelotti and Co.

Midfield ace Piotr Zielinski has praised coach Luciano Spalletti for the club’s exploits this season. Napoli are one step away from making history following a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt at the Deutsche Bank Park in the UEFA Champions League last 16 first-leg tie, having never qualified for the quarter-final stage of the continental competition.

Zielinski reserved special words of praise for Spalletti, placing the ex-Roma and Inter manager above other managers he played under in Naples.

“Sarri, Ancelotti, Gattuso and Spalletti are all excellent coaches. But then with coach Luciano we are doing exceptional things. We can take more satisfaction than with others, which did not arrive.” (via LaLazioSiamoNoi)

The Polish midfielder has been in exceptional form for Napoli this campaign under Spalletti, playing an important role in his team’s first-ever away win in a UCL knockout round.

Zielinski has registered 6 goals and 8 assists in 31 appearances this season.
