The tactician is being lambasted from all sides in Naples after leaving the club with a 4-2 home defeat against Lazio, ending fifth in Serie A and out of the Champions League.

“I am sad and disappointed, like all the Napoli fans, because we expected more from this season,” agent Fernando Schena told Radio Crc.

Duvan Zapata’s agent blasted new Real Madrid Coach Rafa Benitez for his “insulting” treatment of the striker at Napoli.

The tactician is being lambasted from all sides in Naples after leaving the club with a 4-2 home defeat against Lazio, ending fifth in Serie A and out of the Champions League.

“I am sad and disappointed, like all the Napoli fans, because we expected more from this season,” agent Fernando Schena told Radio Crc.

“Napoli had numerous opportunities to get into the Champions League or even secure second place, right to the last round against Lazio.

“I am not happy and neither is Duvan. It’s up to the Coach who to play, but what happened is very strange.

“In the final game the team needed another striker, someone who would be decisive in the box, but Duvan was not given the chance.

“It seemed like an insult to me and we cannot explain what happened this season. Duvan trained well, the club was happy with his progress, but he was allowed very few minutes on the field.

“It’s absolutely incredible that Benitez is now at Real Madrid, especially in the light of his last season with Napoli.

“As for Duvan’s future, the club doesn’t have any idea who the next Coach will be or even the next director of sport, so we must wait before making a decision. He has many offers.

“I can say for certain that if Benitez had stayed, Duvan would certainly have left. The Coach gave him no chance to show his potential.”
