Rudi Garcia is close to sacking amid Napoli’s poor form

Napoli’s head coach Rudi Garcia is very close to lose his job just three months after taking over the Serie A champions, multiple sources in Italy report.

The manager will meet with club boss Aurelio De Laurentiis and then a decision will be made. The Frenchman inherited an almost perfect team from Luciano Spalletti, but the beginning of the new season has been anything but perfect.
