Giandomenico Costi, sports manager and former right-hand man of Giuntoli at Napoli, spoke on Radio CRC during Raffaele Auriemma's program “Si Gonfia la Rete”. “I don't think Giuntoli's words have the flavour of a farewell. If one wants to interpret it as a farewell phrase, one interprets it that way.
He is very close to the De Laurentiis family and is very grateful to them. I met him in Carpi, he climbed from Serie B to Serie A, then Napoli called him.
The Scudetto was the icing on the cake, but Napoli with De Laurentiis and Giuntoli he did important things.
The players were analyzed and I gave my opinion to Micheli and Giuntoli. Kim was recommended to us by Maddaloni.
The deal kvaratskhelia?He was in Georgia, he was seen.
I didn't get involved in the actual negotiations because there are so many facets. De Laurentiis says he had already been seen three years earlier.
The skill of a company like this is not only to identify the players, the difficulty is to contextualize them in a championship like the Italian one and imagine that someone like Kim must hold his own in an open field against someone like Lukaku.
The things that Kim and Kvaratskhelia did in other leagues they also do in Italy. Then a player needs to be completed and there is Spalletti's hand and there is Giuntoli's hand.
Cristiano knows everything.
Since the times of Carpi he knew everything, about technique, tactics and physical preparation. Napoli has a scouting team and a top-level staff.
I saw some training sessions and they were impressive, that's where the championship was built.
Napoli-Verona 1-1? There are historical periods in which players and cycles fade. The cycles have ended in some way in all teams.
Players mentioned by De Laurentiis They have given so much to the city. It is understandable that in some way the enthusiasm may fade.

Let's say that a situation was created whereby the players expressed their intention to try new experiences and the club was good at finding equally important replacements with a different age and an even more ferocious predisposition to training.
In Napoli-Verona I don't think anything special happened. Unfortunately, there can be 'wrong' days and an overly stressful approach to a match.
“The future of Giuntoli and Spalletti?
I hope the partnership continues”
We have complained for many years, pointing out the beauty of English football where the last team in the league on the last day gives the first team a hard time, and that's what Verona did against Napoli.
Spalletti and Giuntoli's future? We need to talk to them and understand their intentions, the club will surely have already started to do so.
I hope for the city of Naples that this partnership continues.
These have been 8 very beautiful years. The De Laurentiis family with Giuntoli has done extraordinary things, from Sarri to Ancelotti, Gattuso who won the Coppa Italia and Spalletti.
The essential player for this Napoli is osimhen.
I think the striker is a bit like the wife, the luck or bad luck of the husband. If you find the wrong striker it conditions the team.
Osimhen works the ball for you even in difficult moments, then he passes the opposing team to you.
He has grown and it is also thanks to Gattuso because he made him play the ball towards him. He has also become more aggressive.
The top scorer doesn't always win. Osimhen does an impressive job both with and without the ball.
He brings goals and points and is exciting for the team for the type of work he does. When he plays the charge excites everyone, including the stadium”.
