Sometimes decried in France despite a double cup-championship achieved with Lille in 2011, Rudi Garcia, without a club since April, will bounce back with the Italian champions, in Naples. His appointment as coach was announced by the Neapolitan club on Thursday June 15, as Luciano Spalletti, who took his team to the Scudetto, decided to take a sabbatical year justified by a “need (to) rest” And “to unplug a bit”.
Rudi Garcia, passed by AS Roma between 2013 and 2016, enjoys a good popularity rating in Italy, where he led the Giallorossi in second place in the championship for two consecutive seasons, before being sacked in January 2016 and being replaced by… Luciano Spalletti. After a contrasting experience in Lyon between 2019 and 2021, the French coach started the 2022-2023 season on the bench of Al-Nassr, in Saudi Arabia, where he managed Cristiano Ronaldo, before leaving the club “d’ mutual agreement” in April.
