Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis has admitted that he’s having ‘a bad time’ with manager Rudi Garcia.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Italian giants currently find themselves fifth in the Serie A\u00a0table after eight games, picking up 14 points from four wins and two draws.<\/p>\n
And, as rumours grow over a potential departure in the Napoli dugout, De Laurentiis has confirmed that he’s considering an ‘appropriate decision’ over Garcia’s future.<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0Repubblica,\u00a0De Laurentiis said: ‘I am having a bad time with him. I am an entrepreneur and I must be interested in what happens inside the company. The coach and the sports director are at your service.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘I will make appropriate decisions at the right time. The environment can’t influence me, one must always take time to think.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Napoli boss Rudi Garcia is under growing pressure amid the club’s early season struggles<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis admitted he needs to make a ‘decision’ on Garcia’s future<\/p>\n
‘Every hasty decision is a wrong decision. In life, it’s not possible to have everything here and now. It is necessary to keep our heads down and work hard.<\/p>\n
‘When you hire a coach who no longer knows Italian football, it’s normal to struggle, the same would have happened to everyone,’ he continued.<\/p>\n
‘It’s useless to blame newcomers, football is not like a building under construction, which won’t collapse if you are sure it was built well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘In football, there are incidents, injuries, and suspensions. There is no mathematical solution to win the title and I believe we’ll be in the race until the end of this season.<\/p>\n
‘Aside from choosing him, my only responsibility is that I could not remain close to him every day at Castel Volturno.’<\/p>\n

Look at the results he’s having. He didn’t convince me during a round of talks that lasted three days. I called many coaches.’<\/p>\n Former Spain boss Luis Enrique took over the PSG this summer but has struggled to get the Parisian giants firing in the early months of his tenure.\u00a0<\/p>\n The French side currently sit third in the Ligue 1 table, two points behind league leaders Monaco.\u00a0<\/p>\n Enrique’s side were also on the receiving end of a 4-1 hammering during their recent trip to Newcastle during a Champions League group stage clash.\u00a0<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
