ROME (Reuters) - Serie A club Napoli has told its players it will 'protect its rights' after they were alleged to have ignored orders and abandoned a week-long training retreat on Thursday in what local media described as a mutiny.

Gazzetta dello Sport and other Italian media said that the players went home following Tuesday's Champions League match at home to Salzburg instead of to the hotel at Castel Volturno, north of Naples, where club management had ordered them to spend the week. The club's flamboyant president Aurelio De Laurentiis ordered the 'ritiro' -- where the team is confined to a hotel or sometimes the club's own training base -- following Saturday's 2-1 defeat by AS Roma which left Napoli seventh in Serie A.The 'ritiro' is a standard response to poor performances at Italian clubs although critics say it is outdated and makes highly paid professional players look like misbehaving school children.
