Luciano Spalletti will leave Napoli after ending their long wait for a Serie A title with the club’s ultras handing him a gift that stems from their previous frustrations
As he prepares to leave Napoli, Luciano Spalletti has received an odd gift from the club’s ultras According to Daily star
The Italian has helped the club’s fans erase more than 30 years of agony by delivering the club’s first Serie A trophy since the days of Diego Maradona. Napoli romped to the Scudetto, finally winning the league by 16 points, but Spalletti has announced his retirement.
It ends his two-season stay at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, although things haven’t always been easy. Back in October 2021, he was the target of ultras who took his Fiat Panda and informed him, via a banner, “We’ll give you back your Panda, as long as you leave!”

With the coach-fan relationship at an all-time high, they have returned the car’s steering wheel and CDs of legendary Neapolitan singer-songwriter Pino Daniele to Spalletti, who laughed as he unwrapped the gifts. Spalletti’s car was eventually returned to him after an appeal, with the ultras able to return it.
Napoli threatened to win Serie A last season, sitting first in February before finishing third. This season, they have long looked like champions in the making, and they have been able to turn their healthy advantage at the top into trophies.
Now, with several of their top players being courted by rival clubs, they are also looking for a new manager to replace Spalletti made it known that he needed time away from the game.
