Massimiliano Allegri is under immense pressure at Napoli and the Italian coach's position now looks under threat. The 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Champions League was the third in a row for the Neapolitan team, following defeats to Como and Inter in Serie A.
Despite Napoli putting in a relatively positive performance against Arsenal, recent results have alarmed the club's management. According to Calciomercato, president Aurelio Laurentiis is unhappy with the start of the season, while fans are also becoming increasingly concerned.
Allegri is already under pressure to react immediately. The next challenge against Bologna, away on Sunday, could be decisive for his future as Napoli coach. Another negative result could push the club to consider changes on the bench.
In this situation, the name of Raffaele Palladino has also come up. The former Fiorentina coach, currently without a team, is being monitored as one of the main candidates in case De Laurentiis decides to make a change during the season.
At the moment, there is no decision on Allegri's dismissal, but the pressure has increased significantly. The match against Bologna could determine whether the Italian coach will continue to have the club's support or if Napoli will start looking for a successor.
