Napoli coach Rudi Garcia: Ndombele and Kim must be replaced

Tanguy Ndombele must be replaced, according to Napoli coach Rudi Garcia.

After helping Napoli win the Scudetto last season, the midfielder has returned to their parent club Tottenham.

Garcia stated that Ndombele must be replaced. To play with us, you also need some physicality, like Anguissa, and that is a quality we are searching for in a replacement for Ndombele.”

Garcia was equally explicit about Kim Min-jae’s leaving for Bayern Munich.

A coach would like to have a full team as quickly as possible, but that is only a pipe dream. We have plenty of time to locate a new center-back.

We’ve been working on it for a while, and while we have options, we want to be as safe as possible. So we assess. Then there’s the matter of money. I’m not in a rush because I have three.”
