Napoli gears up under coach Allegri, emphasizing project continuity and defender signings

Massimiliano Rosolino, former Olympic swimmer, praised Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis for maintaining the club’s long‑term project after the appointment of former Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri. Rosolino said the continuity of the project is more important than any single coach and highlighted De Laurentiis’s “important choice” in hiring Allegri.

Allegri, now set to lead Napoli, has indicated he wants to strengthen the defence by bringing Spanish centre‑back Mario Gila, currently linked with a move from Lazio after Milan’s interest stalled. The coach’s focus on integrating Gila reflects his aim to build a competitive back line as part of the broader project under De Laurentiis.
