Giaccherini: Could Conte and Napoli president De Laurentiis work together?

Former Juventus and Napoli attacker Emanuele Giaccherini would be surprised seeing Antonio Conte in Naples.

Giaccherini played for Conte at Juventus.

He told Radio Punto Nuovo: "Conte with (Napoli president Aurelio) De Laurentiis?

"They are two completely different characters: the coach always wants to impose his own personality and this is not easy with De Laurentiis, he is someone who wants to have a hand in it.

"Conte-ADL is an intriguing combination, but it is difficult to imagine it now."

On new Napoli coach Francesco Calzona, he added: "With three changed coaches, the players must assume their responsibilities. I know Calzona, I worked there in (Mauruzio) Sarri's time and he is well-prepared and has personality."
