Conte’s ‘no’ to Napoli gives Garcia time, but Tudor remains on standby
Conte’s decision not to start negotiations with Napoli gives Rudy Garcia extra time to keep his place on the bench, but if that doesn’t produce immediate results, Tudor’s solution is ready for the champions.
In the last 24 hours, following Napoli’s home defeat to Fiorentina, rumors had emerged that Antonio Conte had been chosen by the Italian champions to replace Rudi Garcia. However, the former Inter and Juventus coach extinguished the fire he had lit and stressed that at the given moment he is only interested in his family.
According to reports, Aurelio De Laurentiis was actually ready to offer almost 8 million euros a year to convince him, as he refused to change the facts and give Garcia life time to change the situation that was against him at the given moment seems to be in time.
As “Sportmediaset” claims, the President of the Partenopei seems determined to support the Frenchman, but the protective shield he will erect around him will not last forever, as the three following games against Verona, Union Berlin and Milan will be crucial for its future.
There is even an alternative scenario that would see Garcia remain on the bench in the away league game against Verona. If the win doesn’t happen and the team doesn’t perform, they will immediately move on to Plan B, which is the case. Only one name: Igor Tudor, who remains single after his divorce from Marseille.
