De Laurentiis's comments come as a definitive response to the rumours that had been circulating about Mourinho's potential association with Napoli.
Despite Mourinho's availability and his esteemed status as a coach, De Laurentiis stated, "Mourinho has nothing to do with Napoli. He was at Roma; now he’s free but I don’t know if he can go to another team; I haven’t studied the regulations."
This statement indicates that Napoli has not considered Mourinho as part of their plans. Furthermore, De Laurentiis expressed his admiration for Mourinho and his Portuguese heritage but emphasised his belief that Mourinho's future lies outside of Italy, particularly not in Naples.
