Moggi reveals: “I spoke with people close to Conte, I think he is close to Napoli”

TO Radio Crc he spoke during the program “Si Gonfia la Rete”. Luciano Moggi, former manager of Napoli and Juventus among others: “De Laurentiis is right. If a football club wanted to do everything that is written from January to July it would buy 500 players and change 30 coaches. If you follow a player, you have the chance to sign him and some journalist writes about it, 3 other companies get there and the value rises. I have always tried to mislead to avoid auctions, sometimes I succeeded, other times I didn’t. De Laurentiis is going through a delicate moment that he did not foresee: at the moment he has a fairly young director, if it is true that he has hired him, so he has to do everything alone.

There could be two candidates for the Napoli bench: Conte and Italiano. I also read about Pioli that he can also fit in because he is a great coach, but he has come out now because Milan will change coach. Conte could be close to Napoli, my feelings speaking with people close to Antonio are these. Juventus should have closed for Thiago Motta, Milan are looking abroad so Napoli remains. The Italian club has been following this path for a long time, so De Laurentiis will make many people angry, but he knows how to work.

I think he has something important in mind for Napoli. This year he did everything wrong, I have the impression that he took inspiration from some mistakes he made to talk less and go deeper into certain things. I like De Laurentiis as an entrepreneur because he keeps his budgets in order, but we need to encourage him to do well and in this sense journalists do well. Then, the president cannot deny a piece of news every time, and if he also mentions names and surnames I think it is out of place. I hope that from the behavior I glimpse and the news that doesn’t filter there is something good.”
