In the end, Pier Paolo Marino squandered an awful lot of money on players without solving some key structural problems that have held Napoli back over the last couple of seasons. But I would like to remember him, like Edy Reja, as a crucial figure in Napoli’s renaissance from Serie C1 to the UEFA [...]

3 Points, But Now What?
By: Neil | 9 Comments
Napoli earned a much needed three points by defeating Siena 2-1, but Donadoni’s position and the general direction of the team aren’t much clearer. All Napoli did today was win a home game against a struggling Siena team that could be fighting relegation if they don’t improve. The first half was lacklustre from [...]

Shocking news from the San Paolo as Napoli’s director of sport Pierpaolo Marino parted ways with the team shortly after Napoli’s 2-1 victory over Siena. Manager Roberto Donadoni’s job is safe for now, but there is a lot of uncertainty as President Aurelio De Laurentiis has made it public that he regrets firing manager [...]

This game is going to be awesome. Every campaign there are the season changing games– getting lost form back, regrouping mentally, or if you’re Napoli, potentially having your coach sacked. Unlike last week, a win is expected, and for Donadoni’s sake, he must get the team on proper footing– De La isn’t getting [...]

Apologies if this comes out sounding too frustrated, I usually like to wait a day to write after games like these.
Out of boredom I was watching some football Americano last night, as the Indianapolis Cults got the ball run on them over and over again by the Miami Dolphins; So much so that the [...]

I remember looking ahead at the Serie A schedule just about a month ago to our first fixture with the reigning champions, and wondering what it would mean at that point in the season. Now we are here, and four points out of a possible twelve doesn’t seem to be making anyone happy. [...]

Napoli 0-0 Udinese
There comes a time when optimism stops being productive and has to give way to admitting some unplesant truths. As good as Napoli played yesterday – and there were lots of positive moments – it was a game where three points were there for the taking. Not only did Napoli settle [...]

This game has bad news for Udinese written all over it, I’m feeling a severe whiplash reversal of form for Donadoni’s men. Back at the San Paolo, Quagliarella against his former club, and two teams who are tied for second worst defense in Serie A facing off. No one can deny this is [...]

Roberto Donadoni’s stint as Napoli manager has not gone as planned. In 14 Serie A games his record is 3-5-6, which is fewer points per game than Edy Reja’s 1.5 seasons in Serie A. Are the numbers misleading? Is there a great Napoli side about to rise to the surface in the [...]

-and that’s how you do the rumba. We knew this was going to be quite a game, as it always is when two evenly matched teams face off at the Marassi, but this drama surpassed expectations. Whenever three red cards go down you know it was intense. But Three games played, and Donadoni [...]
