Napoli are reportedly evaluating firing Rudi Garcia, and Graham Potter is said to be on the shortlist of possible replacements.
Napoli's title defence is going awry so far, and with the recent loss to Fiorentina, manager Rudi Garcia's future is said to be uncertain, and former Chelsea boss Graham Potter is being evaluated as a possible replacement.
Garcia struggling at Napoli
The French manager had big boots to fill when he accepted the Partenopei role, as he was replacing Luciano Spaletti, the coach who led Napoli to their first league title in 33 years.

Victor Osimhen: I can never surpass Maradona in Napoli — Super Eagles striker calls late Argentine the GOAT
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen says that Maradona's legacy at Napoli is insurmountable.
The Italian manager passed on the chance to defend the title when he exited the role this summer, citing the need to take a sabbatical. However, he is the current manager of the Azzurri.
Napoli have struggled to replicate the form they showed under their former boss, or even the fluency in their style of play.
The results they have gotten so far exhibit this; Napoli have already dropped points in four of eight matches this season, two losses and two draws, keeping them fifth on the log, seven points adrift of league leaders Milan.
Napoli weighing up replacements
Aurelio de Laurentiis ensured to keep the main cast of Napoli's league-winning campaign last season, with Kim Min Jae's departure to Bayern Munich being the only major exit.
Hence the criticism against Rudi Garcia for his inability so far to get the team clicking as they did in the previous campaign.
According to GFFN, the Partenopei hierarchy are already evaluating possible replacements, and currently out of work Graham Potter, who was fired from Chelsea, is said to be on this list.
Croatian manager Igor Tudor, who recently left Marseille, is also on the list, as is the highly-rated River Plate boss Marcelo Gallardo.
