Moratti reveals: "They asked me to take over Napoli and relaunch it"

Massimo Moratti, former owner and president of Inter, speaks to Radio Kiss Kiss. On the Nerazzurri's current situation, defeated 1-0 by Milan in the latest Milan derby: "Chivu's team lost to Milan, they have a good margin to do well and bring home the Scudetto, but I have to say that they need to start running. Because I've seen a decline in their physical condition and to win the Scudetto they will need to perform better."

  • Moratti then reveals an interesting anecdote about Napoli's past, and in particular about the year in which the Neapolitan club went bankrupt in 2004: "When the club went bankrupt, a Serie A president called me and suggested that I take over the club and relaunch it. But I saw it as intrusive, a lack of respect for a city and a fanbase that deserved someone who would take the reins of the club just as chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis did."
