The news of the arrival of Luciano Spalletti At Juventus, it was destined to unleash an earthquake. And so it did. But what's surprising this time is the maturity of the Neapolitan fans, divided but largely grateful to the man who, just two years ago, brought the Scudetto back to Mount Vesuvius after thirty-three long years.
On social media, anger, nostalgia, and respect alternate.

However, there are also those who are most disappointed. “It's not so much that he's going to Juve — comments another fan — but certain words, certain oaths are not forgotten." Yet, the majority seems to look further. "Explain to me why he shouldn't do it. It's a job. Conte was a Juventus fan and now he supports Napoli: that's how it works.", writes a user who signs “Neapolitan from the North”.
Between those who defend him and those who criticize him, one thing remains clear: for the Napoli team that experienced the night of its third Scudetto, Spalletti will always be a part of history. “I don't care which team you coach — writes a fan — You will always be one of us. Good Naples will always love you." For many, booing Juventus will be inevitable. But booing Spalletti, not that: the respect for those who rewrote the history of Napoli remains intact, even as an opponent.
