Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has shared his New Year’s message with fans through his social media profile. The club owner took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his hopes for 2025 and set a target for the team’s sporting achievements in the second half of the season.
In his message, De Laurentiis stated, “Happy 2025 to everyone. May it be a year of serenity and peace. A special wish to our extraordinary fans all over the world. The hope is that 2025 will continue in the wake of the second half of this year and that our goal of returning to Europe will be achieved.”
This statement from the Napoli president comes as the team, under the guidance of Antonio Conte, prepares to face Fiorentina in the last match of the first half of the season. De Laurentiis’ words seem to set a more modest objective compared to the team’s current league position, focusing on securing European qualification.
The president’s message follows recent comments from coach Conte, who had expressed a somewhat different perspective on the team’s goals. In a press conference before the Venezia match and in post-match interviews with Dazn, Conte had said, “I don’t sign up for a minimum objective,” adding humorously, “I want to win even when I play cards with my daughter.”
