Aurelio De Laurentiis says goodbye to Luciano Spalletti

The words of Aurelio De Laurentiis

Aurelio De Laurentiis on ‘Che tempo che fa’ effectively made Luciano Spalletti’s farewell official. “He is a free man. When someone comes to you and tells you that basically he has done his best and a cycle of life has ended, what do you do? Do you object? He told me he would rather have a sabbatical year.”

“He gave me, I thank him. Now it’s right for him to continue doing what he loves,” the Napoli president added.

He closed on the stadium: “I hope the municipality will give us the stadium for 99 years, otherwise I will go and build a new one in Caserta and who knows how happy they would be. I’m going to make it a museum and also open it for events, weddings, communions, concerts. Lately a lot of Americans are coming to the stadium and they see the city all decked out in blue, they would all like to go to the stadium but there is no room. A real Naples-mania has broken out. One statistic had found that there are more than 83 million Napoli fans in the world, now after the Scudetto there will be at least 120 million.”
