Former Spain coach a target for other clubs, including SpursSpalletti intending to take sabbatical after winning Serie A
Napoli are in talks with Luis Enrique as they seek a replacement for Luciano Spalletti, who is standing down as manager after winning Serie A. The former Spain and Barcelona coach is one their leading candidates but Napoli are aware he also features on the shortlists of other clubs, including Tottenham.
Spalletti has said he intends to take a sabbatical year after leading Napoli to their first title since 1990. On Monday the club’s president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, thanked the 64-year-old for his work and described him as “a free man”. Spalletti is due to take charge of Napoli for the final time in Sunday’s home game against Sampdoria, the last match of the season.
