Football Italia reported that Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is reportedly not fully convinced by sporting director Giovanni Manna and is considering Igli Tare as a possible replacement.
Doubts over Manna
According to Calciomercato.it, the Napoli president has doubts about the work of Giovanni Manna. Manna joined Napoli in 2024.
Tare under consideration
According to Calciomercato.it, Tare, who left Milan in May, is the name being considered. Tare spent 15 years as Lazio's sporting director before joining Milan in 2025, where he worked alongside Massimiliano Allegri.
Napoli's results and rebuild
Napoli beat Bodø/Glimt 4-3 in the Champions League on Tuesday. Manna oversaw an expensive rebuild of the squad, but several signings have yet to deliver, and Napoli's attack has scored just five goals despite costing around €200m.
Allegri and possible next steps
Allegri's position remains under scrutiny, with his future said to depend on results before the November international break. Tare and Allegri tried to sign Ousmane Doumbia together at Milan, and Allegri made another attempt for the midfielder after moving to Napoli. Calciomercato.it suggests there could be further developments in the coming weeks.
