What Luis Enrique said when offered to manage Napoli

The end of the relationship between Napoli and Luciano Spalleti has been confirmed, and now Napoli will have to begin the search for a new head coach who can help them achieve back-to-back championships in the upcoming tournament and reach the long-awaited Champions League final.

Luciano Spalleti announced that after winning the Serie A title with Napoli, he will take a sabbatical year. Meanwhile, the club's management knows that they don't have much time before the start of the next season and must quickly find a new head coach.

One option to lead Napoli was Luis Enrique, an experienced coach who already has Serie A experience as he previously managed Roma for a season. Unfortunately, his tenure there was not successful as they were eliminated from the Europa League and finished in seventh place in the overall table.

According to information from the Italian portal Corriere dello Sport, Aurelio de Laurentiis personally contacted Luis Enrique to make him an offer and try to convince him to become the new head coach of Napoli. However, Luis Enrique reportedly turned down the offer.

<br/>Reason for his response

According to the president of Napoli himself, the reason why Luis Enrique didn't accept the offer from the Italian club is that he wants to join a Premier League club, mainly for financial reasons. He stated that the money available in English football can be very tempting.
