The Nigerian forward has led Napoli to the brink of a first Scudetto since 1990 with his 21 goals in the league and has also helped I Partenopei to the first UEFA Champions League quarterfinal in their history with three goals in two games against Frankfurt in the round of 16.

Spalletti has been the coach of Napoli since 2021 and has overseen one of the best periods in Napoli’s history and is likely to continue on his journey to being a club legend by winning a Serie A title.
