Naples did its 0: 4 share on Gank yesterday (Tuesday), but don't think the impressive result gave a bit of silence to Carlo Ancelotti, who was fired just after the whistle from President Aurelio de Laurentis despite the promised ticket to the eighth Champions League final.

As announced 48 hours ago, the one who is expected to replace him is Genaro Gatoso, who has already received an offer from the president and now the ball is only in his hands. The official announcement from the club stated: "The contract with the team's head coach Mr. Carlo Ancelotti ended last night. The friendship and mutual respect between President Aurelio de Laurentis and Ancelotti will always be maintained."

Last week, it was suggested that Ancelotti could survive his role if he could score a point in the match against Genk, but it turns out that De Laurentis Mass in the club's big mess and therefore chose to conclude with the colored coach, who was on Milan's lines last season.

It is worth noting that Ancelotti's dismissal, which holds a season-and-a-half contract, is supposed to save millions of euros for the club, which is in financial difficulties. Also, the deep rift between the players and Ancelotti, who in fact only intensified over the past week, apparently tipped the scoop on the veteran coach's duty.
