De Laurentis has personally phoned up Rafa Benitez to convince him to replace Gattuso at Napoli who is likely to be sacked this week.
He won't go back there. The fans didn't like him. You don't get on the wrong side of the Napoli fans.
You what. You do realise he's their most successful manager in about 2 decades. 2 trophies, semi finals of Europa League and set up an incredible team which bared fruit for about 5 years after he left. Mertens, Callejon, Koulibaly, Albiol, Higuain, Reina, Jorginho, Ghoulam, De Guzman, Gabbiadini, Zapata. You do realise that De Laurentis was bending over backwards to get Rafa to stay, offered to buy him a house in Rome, put his kids in a top English speaking school in Rome, because Rafa was homesick, ADL was trying to find options to move his whole family over there. Offered him a 3 year deal, when Rafa turned it down, he reduced it to 2 years and then 1 year, in order to get him to sign. He wanted Rafa, when Ancelotti left last year, but was obviously under contract in China. The fans don't call him Don Rafa for nothing.
Someone should really ring the police about rafman he must be a stalker. I can imagine he goes through Benitez bins.
Why would he put Rafa's kids in an English speaking school if he was homesick,would it not be Spanish,just asking
