Simply because there was nobody else. He said that he wanted Thiago Motta which would have been the best choice imho but unfortunately he refused, like other managers, probably because this year was gonna be really tough considering that it was really difficult to win the scudetto again. I don’t agree with people saying he got cocky or that he wanted to save money, it’s a legend that goes on since he bought Napoli. As for the new players Natan seems like a great defender and he’s still young so he can improve further, while Cajuste and Lindstrom I think will be very important in the future they just need more play time. Personally I think the only problem this season was the choice of Garcia but again, it’s due to the lack of managers available right now, look at Milan, if they sack Pioli who are they gonna pick?
