Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti is on the verge of being sacked after his players deserted a club-ordered emergency training camp.
Napoli says it will defend its “economic, patrimonial, image and disciplinary rights” after the players refused to stay at the club’s training center following a 1-1 draw with Salzburg in the Champions League.
The club in a statement said it was Ancelloti’s responsibility to organize the training camp.
Ancelotti shunned the usual post match conference after Tuesday’s Champions League draw to Salzburg which was their fourth straight match without a win.
Considered a title contender at the start of the season, Napoli has sunk to seventh in Serie A. The draw with Salzburg meant Napoli missed a chance to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
