According to a report by Italian media Sky Italia on the 9th, Napoli is internally reviewing and discussing the firing of coach Rudi Garcia. The decision could come as early as midweek.

Napoli are currently in fifth place after eight rounds with 14 points from four wins, two draws, and two losses.

It's a far cry from last season, when they were crowned champions by a landslide. Just a season ago, their defense was so solid that they only conceded 28 goals in 38 games, but this season they've conceded nine goals in eight games.

That's more than one goal per game. 바카라사이트

More importantly, a 1-3 defeat at home to Fiorentina in the eighth round was the final nail in the coffin for Guardiola.

The defeat followed a midweek UEFA Champions League group stage loss to Real Madrid.

It's a tough start for Napoli fans, whose hopes were raised when they won the Serie A title last season.

In fact, Napoli's squad hasn't changed much from last season. Most of the key players remain, including Victor Osimhen, Hvitsa Kravacshelia, Piotr Zielinski, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, and Alex Meret.

However, the hole left by the departure of Kim Min-jae to Bayern Munich is bigger than you might think. Kim was one of the best defenders in Serie A last season.

Napoli played an attacking style of soccer that utilized Kim's wide radius and precise buildup.

Even when they played high up the line, they were often able to defend through a single player.

He was the driving force behind their 0-0 goal difference.

This season, however, Napoli is without Kim Min-jae.

Napoli hasn't made any signings to replace him.

Because of this, Napoli fans, officials, and the media have been publicly expressing how much they miss him.

Not only on social media, but offline as well.

It was only one season, but it shows how much he made an impact and how much he was loved.
