Disappointed owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has forced SSC Napoli players to spend a week in a hotel after the team lost the Serie A championship.
After a protracted chase, Victor Osimhen and company finally won the Serie A championship last season, but their defense of the trophy has thus far been lackluster.
After 19 games, the Italian champions are currently 20 points behind Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A standings.
Osimhen's reigning champions have only managed eight victories halfway through the 2023-2024 campaign, with seven losses-three of which have occurred in the last four games.
According to a Daily Star report, Napoli owner De Laurentiis made a dramatic decision by sending the players on a week-long retreat known as "ritiro," which translates as "withdraw."
Napoli is not just experiencing trouble in the Italian league; they were also eliminated from the Coppa Italia after a humiliating 4-0 loss to Frosinone.
Osimhen of Nigeria was not present for the Coppa Italia match because he was representing his country in the Africa Cup of Nations or AFCON.
