Tensions Run High in Naples; Allegri Scolds the Players. De Laurentiis Lashes Out at the Team Doctor

Showdown in Naples after the loss to Juventus: According to reports, Napoli coach Massimiliano Allegri—who watched the match in Turin from the stands due to a suspension—went down to the locker room after the game, where he had a very heated confrontation with the players.

According to rumors, Allegri vented his anger and frustration over the Neapolitans’ attitude on the field during a crucial league match. This was reported by *Il Mattino*. Napoli has earned just 14 points in 10 games and is well behind the Champions League qualification zone.

Allegri is in the fans’ crosshairs but remains firmly in place on the bench for now; moreover, his three-year contract is particularly costly, and it is unlikely the club can afford to fire him. Before the break, Napoli will face Porto in the Champions League, followed by a match against league-leading Lazio: two games they must win to salvage the season, which risks being completely derailed as early as mid-November.

Meanwhile, President Aurelio De Laurentiis has set his sights on the medical staff due to the many injuries that have plagued the team since the start of the season. The Napoli owner reportedly spoke at length on the phone with Dr. De Luca, the head of the medical staff, to understand the reason behind the many absences. For now, the only certainty is that Allegri’s job is safe.
