De Laurentiis stands by Allegri despite ninth place
The president has not seen a single Napoli match in person this season, but his backing for the head coach is undimmed — with October pencilled in as the moment to judge.
Napoli sit ninth with 7 points from 5 games, but Aurelio De Laurentiis is not questioning Massimiliano Allegri's position. The president, who has yet to watch a match live this season, retains full faith in the project launched at the start of July.
The belief inside the club is that the 20-day international break is being used to sharpen fitness and team mechanisms, as if this shaky start had already been factored in. For De Laurentiis, the turning point is expected in October.
The line remains one of continuity: no change on the bench, no public debate over Allegri's position. But confidence from above does not move Napoli up the table — that is down to the team, starting with Napoli-Frosinone on 10 October.
