Manna is set to leave Juventus to become new sporting director of Napoli.

Lo Monaco told Rado Punto Nuovo: "The performance of a team depends on a plan and we all know how this season went. The mortal sin was not giving continuity to (Luciano) Spalletti and (Cristiano) Giuntoli's project, a cycle could have been opened and now instead everything has to be rebuilt.

"Manna and (Fiorentina coach) Italiano? Italiano is a good coach, he makes his teams play well, Manna would fit in well, as a young and well-prepared director. However, it would seem to me to put a figure like (Beppe) Marotta alongside him like at Inter alongside (Dario) Baccin and (Piero) Ausilio.

"Leaving him alone would make little sense, especially in a championship he doesn't know: it would be a big risk.

"(Nicolo) Zaniolo at Napoli? He is a player of excellent quality, who has had many character problems and has shown that he is not suitable for important objectives. It is more a doubt than a be, for now."
