The sporting director of Naples Giovanni Manna gave an interview to the microphones of ‘Mediaset’ a few minutes before the kick-off of the match against Palermo, a match which will be staged at the Maradona stadium starting from 9.00 pm and will be valid for the round of 32 of the Italian Cup: ” For us it is an important competition, without European matches we must try to get to the end and today’s is a stage in this journey. There is absolute confidence in all elements of the group, we expect confirmations of what we see during the match week and it’s right that they now have the match they deserve.”
Do you have the feeling that you have given Conte a technically valid team?
“We tried to do the best of our possibilities, we included some ready elements and others who were good but had more perspective. We are quite happy with the work done, we could have done something more, but for me the first session was positive. We tried to improve the group and give the coach more choices.”
When will the Kvara renewal arrive?
“I said it and I repeat it: there is no rush, there is no rush for renewals. He has three years left on his contract. We have talked about it, we talk about it and we will talk about it but there is no deadline.”
Osimhen-Milan, did something happen in the summer?
“Absolutely no one called us.”
