Naples is resentful

“Our expectations and the salary that we could offer him led to an almost forced choice. Let’s stay on the present and the future, Kvicha is part of the past”declared this Saturday, the Neapolitan sports director Giovanni Manna, inevitably frustrated by such an outcome. Amputated of its best creator and one of its best elements, the Neapolitan team is now looking to the future and is working, in this sense, to find the right profile, capable of making people forget the prowess of the Georgian.
