Giovanni Manna is being backed for success at Napoli.

The Juventus director is wanted by Napoli as new technical director.

Agent Andrea D'Amico told Radio Marte: "Giovanni Manna is an excellent professional, he has experience, he is very competent and dynamic, he would be an excellent profile for Napoli.

"After all, the club in the past focused on Giuntoli, then an emerging manager, he came from Carpi but had important qualities that De Laurentiis had glimpsed.

"Among the young people, Giovanni Manna is one of the best prepared who trained in the lower divisions and has acquired an international scope. It is not a single choice that determines success or failure of a season.

"Giuntoli convinced De Laurentiis to take Osimhen in the covid period, he is an experienced sporting director, he knows how to identify talents, for which he has a particular eye. Having brought Osimhen to Napoli is one of Giuntoli's merits.

"To date I can't say where Osimhen will go, he has a salary and a clause that can only be approached by very big clubs in France or England."
