In a significant development, Maurizio Sarri is reportedly on the verge of a sensational return to Napoli. The decision now rests with the club’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis.
Details: According to respected journalist Nicolò Schira on social media platform X, the 67-year-old Lazio head coach has expressed his approval for a move back to Napoli. The coach’s strained relationship with the management at Lazio has prompted him to consider Napoli’s offer.
Sarri is reportedly prepared to sign a contract with Napoli that would keep him with the club until 2028, with an annual salary of €2.8 million, plus potential bonuses. Although he has indicated a willingness to return, the final decision will depend on De Laurentiis.
Previously, Sarri managed Napoli from 2015 to 2018, leading the team through 148 matches, where he achieved 98 victories, 25 draws, and 25 losses.
