Nicola ‘tired of rescue narrative, Napoli made it easier for Venezia’

Davide Nicola explains how ‘Napoli made it easier’ for Venezia to stay focused in a dream debut victory, but he’s ‘a little tired of the narrative’ that he’s only chosen for desperate situations.

The coach could not have asked for a better debut just days after replacing sacked Giovanni Stroppa , who had lost all seven games between Serie A and the Coppa Italia.

He is a specialist at rescuing clubs who seem to be doomed after dismal starts to the season, and he takes over a side that won the Serie B title last term.
