NAPOLI ANNOUNCE PLAYER-MANAGER
Napoli have shocked the world today by announcing their new manager, who is also a player, having recently signed under Rafa Benitez, who also have no coaching or managerial experience. Nevertheless, the club seem to have put their faith in newboy
Emmanuel Frimpong, who will be lining up on the touchline and the field throughout the upcoming season.
Due to receiving 0 offers for the role, Napoli were stuck on what to do. The exact way in which Frimpong became manager is unknown, but it is believed it is due to his confidence, cockiness, and arrogance that got him the role. He is believed to have stormed into the president's office, wearing his DENCH t-shirt and cap, and suggested, or demanded, that Frimpong is given a chance as manager. The president then went onto ask all other players if they would be interested, and would be happy for Emmanuel to take the lead, and it seems Emmanuel was the only candidate.
Frimpong is only 21, but is expected to use a playing style very similar to Arsenal, due to playing under the wing of Arsene Wenger for many years. Arsenal try to use a simple, passing game, and it is suggested Frimmy will also adopt this style. Napoli were wanting to push for the title and possible European success at the start of this season, but due to the recent issues in the club, Napoli have confirmed they would be more than happy with a finish in the top half of the table.
Emmanuel Frimpong will kick off his career as a manager with four friendlies before digging into the Serie A, playing Roma at Home in a key first game.
