He took over the Serie A champions this summer, but the start of the season has been poor

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.


Napoli is sitting fifth in Serie A standings after 8 rounds with 14 points – 7 away from league leader AC Milan. The team won just half of the games played and at the same time have 1 point in their Champions League group, drawing with Braga and suffering a loss at home from Real Madrid.

The main favorites to take the coaching role if Garcia is sacked are Antonio Conte, Igor Tudor and Marco Giampaolo.
