There is no doubt that Marcelo Gallardo is one of the best coaches in the world and that in these six months that he has not been directing, he has received several offers from important teams that were running out of their coaches in the middle of the season. El Muñeco is highly professional and did not look favorably on taking on a team in the middle of the season and without having the chance to put together the squad he wants, which is why he rejected the proposals.
A few weeks ago it was announced that both Leeds of the Premier League and Valencia of Spain tried to hire him, but both clubs were met with the refusal of the most winning coach in River history. It would have been very strange for Gallardo to take over in one of those teams with much of the season gone by, on top of that both were fighting for relegation in their respective leagues.
In the last few hours, as reported by the Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzo, the Doll is one of the main candidates to take over at Napoli. Apparently Luciano Spaletti would not continue in the cast of southern Italy, and the former technical director could take over for the next season. In case of materializing, the Doll will once again direct Giovanni Simeone.
The challenges that await you
In the case of assuming as technical director of Napoli, Marcelo Gallardo would have the task -not at all easy- of defending the Serie A title obtained a few weeks ago. It should be noted that Napoli had not won a Scudetto for 33 years, when Diego Maradona was the great star of the Neapolitan team. On the other hand, he will lead Napoli in the Champions League.
