Spalletti explained that he wanted to leave because he was tired of constantly disagreeing with De Laurentiis over small issues. He felt that the president had too much control over every decision and would often change his mind at the last minute. This made it difficult for Spalletti to plan and make decisions as a coach.

Spalletti gave an example of how De Laurentiis would often change hotels at short notice, which caused inconvenience to the players. He said that this was not just a one-time incident, but happened several times during his tenure at Napoli.

Spalletti also revealed that he would have stayed at Napoli if De Laurentiis had shown a more open and respectful approach. He believed that with more dialogue and understanding, they could have worked together to achieve success again.

However, Spalletti expressed his gratitude to De Laurentiis for allowing him to coach Napoli and wished the club well in the future.
