The 64-year-old manager pulled off a minor miracle with Napoli in the league, beating the likes of AC Milan, Inter, AS Roma, and Juve to the Serie A title, playing some scintillating football on the way, and has been rewarded for his superb coaching with the end-of-season award.
He was congratulated on the achievement by Lega Serie A chief Luigi De Siervo who said, “Luciano Spalletti’s season in charge of Napoli has been simply extraordinary.
“The Azzurri made their mark from day one not just for their results, but also the spectacular style of football, which was appreciated on the international stage too.”
