Napoli is looking for a replacement for Luciano Spalletti, who is stepping down after winning Serie A. Luis Enrique is one of their leading candidates but Napoli are aware he features on the shortlists of other clubs, including Tottenham.
“He is a great coach, he has done very well at Barcelona… but I think he has the Premier League in mind,” De Laurentiis told Rai. It is important to remember that we compete with several leagues that are more appealing than ours, such as the English one.”
Luis Enrique has remained unemployed since resigning as Spain’s coach following their World Cup last-16 loss to Morocco in 2022. His most recent term as a club manager was with Barcelona from 2014 to 2017, when he won two La Liga titles, three Copa del Reys, and a Champions League. He has previously worked as a coach with Roma, Celta Vigo, and Barcelona B.
