Napoli brought the ‘scudetto’ back to Mount Vesuvius after 33 years, but they do not plan to stop there. The eccentric owner of the Neapolitans, Aurelio de Laurentiis, would like to see Luis Enrique on the red-hot bench after possibly parting ways with Luciano Spalletti.De Laurentiis has already announced his pursuit of trophies and, above all, the Champions League cup, and the Spanish expert is no stranger to the fight for the “Ol’ Big Ears”. He led Barcelona and won the triple crown with it in 2015. The first man of Napoli hopes that he could repeat those results at the Maradona stadium. The dream of the Champions League this season remained elusive – they were stopped by AC Milan and Rafael Leao.##NAJAVA_MECA_7277207##Corriere dello Sport reports that Enrique will be offered a two-year contract worth 10,000,000 euros per season. A lucrative deal for a man De Laurentiis sees as an experienced coach for Europe’s elite competition.Enrique has already managed a club in Italy – Roma in the 2011/12 season – when the team finished in seventh place. His further coaching career was far more successful, especially the historic 2014/15 season in Barcelona. He coached the Spanish national team from 2019 to 2022, when he resigned after an unsuccessful World Cup and elimination in the round of 16 by Morocco.In Naples, the 53-year-old Spaniard could be joined by compatriot Pepe Reina. The Villarreal goalkeeper and former Napoli player’s contract expires in June and there are rumors that he could join Enrique’s coaching staff.Now, how temperamental Enrique will be able to deal with De Laurentiis is an entirely different topic. Spalletti was a favorite in Naples, he gave them back the title, but he couldn’t do it again with the boss. The quarrel with De Laurentiis and the automatic extension of the contract without the knowledge of the 64-year-old coach were just the culmination of the mutual misunderstanding.🚨 Luis Enrique could become the next Napoli head coach, if as expected, they part ways with Luciano Spalletti! 🇮🇹(Source: @repubblica) pic.twitter.com/S7T0oT0onw— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) May 23, 2023 The media then mentioned the experienced Rafa Benitez and Antonio Conte as Spalletti’s successors, two managers who have already trained in Italy and who know how to win trophies. Although De Laurentiis was also thinking about younger candidates – Thiago Motta is doing great things with Bologna, Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Italiano is also in the spotlight. The Viola strategist brought the Florence team to two finals, last night they lost first in the final of the Italian Cup, but they still have the final of the UEFA Conference League.However, Luis Enrique is the first pick. And after the “scudetto” was won, everyone would like to try themselves out at the Neapolitans’ bench.
