Coach Luciano Spalletti admits he did not realise how hard it will be to leave Napoli after leading them to the Serie A title for the first time since 1990.

"I no longer have the energy to be up to the standard of what people love so much, so I have to take two steps back and leave," Spalletti said in press conference on Saturday. Speculation over Spalletti's future was sparked after Napoli's title win last month, with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis claiming they had reached a resolution over dinner before the coach confirmed his decision on Monday.

Spalletti who took charge of Napoli in 2021, was grateful for the moments the club and fans gave him but said he would be unable to repeat"that joy that the fans deserve", adding that despite the difficult decision he must respect it.
