In an unexpected scene in the Serie A, Napoli lost to Empoli with a score of 1-0, a result that many fans did not expect. After all, there is a clear gap between the strengths of the two teams. Although Napoli successfully defended its title this season, its overall performance did not meet expectations. New coach Rudi Garcia's coaching style is very different from that of his predecessor Spalletti, and the handling of the relationship between the team's training and superstars, as well as his ability to make adjustments on the spot during matches, have all been questioned. But even so, they deserve to be able to beat such opponents.
However, the reality is very different from the imagination. Rudy Garcia was under immense pressure, his relationship with many stars was strained, and he was even at risk of being dropped. The situation seems to be even more dire this time around.
According to Italian media reports, former Evergrande coach and world-class soccer player, Carlo Cannavaro, appeared in the stands and seemed to be intent on delivering a "new message". What exactly is this message? Apparently, he wants to continue as a coach, especially in Serie A. This is a surprising move from Cannavaro, who has been unemployed for a long time.
Nonetheless, his actions don't seem to be getting much recognition. The Napoli hierarchy is not optimistic about him, and despite the fact that Rudi Garcia could face the sack, they will not invite a coach like Cannavaro to take over the team.
After all, Garcia's selection was a mistake. De Laurentiis can't cover up one mistake with another, which would certainly be a huge blow to the team. The star players in the team such as Kvaratskhelya and Osmeen have a tendency to leave the team. As president, he must stabilize the team as soon as possible.
One German said bluntly that "Cannavaro is not fit to be a professional coach". They need someone reliable to help the team overcome their difficulties, and this has certainly dealt a blow to Cannavaro's personal reputation and confidence. Indeed, since his retirement in 2012, his resume is not exactly extensive. Coaching experience in Asia (Evergrande, Riyadh, Quanjian and the national soccer team) hardly guarantees him actual performance. It pales in comparison to his illustrious career.
This is certainly a heavy blow to his dream of becoming a local coach. Cannavaro still has a long way to go if he wants to achieve that goal. The German's comments will be heard by many other big names as well, and Cannavaro has a long way to go in his quest for promotion.
