Spalletti: I said I will not coach other teams in the season after Napoli wins the championship, not forever

Juventus' new coach Spalletti said that after winning the championship in Naples, he said that he would not coach other Serie A teams in the following season, not never coach.

Juventus announced the appointment of new coach Spalletti this week, and Spalletti said when talking about this season's goals: "Dream to win the championship? Why not? When you are at a club like Juventus, you always have to pursue the highest goal. And I have watched a lot of games this season and I have not seen any team that is fully prepared and 100% up to the mark. Even Napoli has encountered some obstacles - they are the same as Inter Milan They are one of the most powerful teams. We must respect all opponents, but we must also go all out and not shout slogans, because I don’t like shouting slogans. I have had the opportunity to enter the locker rooms of teams at all levels, and I always maintain the greatest respect."

Spalletti once led Naples to win the Serie A championship in the 2022-23 season, but now he has become the coach of the archrival Juventus, which makes many Naples fans dissatisfied. Spalletti said: "I came to Juventus and made the people of Naples unhappy? I have left some marks of my own in every city I have coached, and I remember those are good memories. In Naples we showed some higher-level things, which are related to the football we played and the Serie A championship we won. Those are some very beautiful things that will never change. I have established a wonderful relationship with the people and the city there, and all of this will be eternal to me."

Si Spalletti also has a tattoo on his left arm to commemorate his victory in Naples. He joked: "During the physical examination this morning, I also asked the nurse to draw blood from my other arm, so I don't want this tattoo to be touched or damaged in any way. I will return to Naples in the future, and that square will always remain in my heart, no matter what career choice I make."

There had been a controversial video before, when Spalletti said after winning the championship in Naples that he would not coach other teams again. Spalletti said angrily: "I want to clarify my previous remarks about Naples and after the end of that contract. I said at the time that I would not wear the coaching uniforms of other teams, but that was only for that season. In the video, only part of my remarks were intercepted, not all of them were played. I kept my promise and did not coach other teams that season, completely out of respect for what we did in Naples. I received at that time A lot of offers, which is normal because I won the Serie A title with Naples. However, I didn't want to stop coaching after leaving Naples. My coaching career was not over yet. I still respected the choice I made after Naples. Obviously, it is not correct to take it out of context. You can see what the intention of those who wrote such reports is."source:7m vn cn
