Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis stated that "coach Luciano Spalletti will not continue in his role next season after winning the Serie A title due to his request for a one-year break." He mentioned to Rai TV last Sunday that "Spalletti is a great coach, he is a free man and has given a lot; I thanked him, and now it is right for him to do what he wants." De Laurentiis confirmed that "Spalletti, 64, informed him of his desire to take a one-year break and he did not refuse the request." Spalletti led his team Napoli to win the league title for the first time since 1990, but there were speculations about his continuation in the role. He took over as Napoli's coach in 2021 and was in tears when he celebrated the league title, thanking his family and remembering his brother who passed away four years ago.
