Ancelotti hints at Napoli resignation if club loses trust in his coaching

Carlo Ancelotti has no doubt Napoli's hierarchy and players are behind him, but revealed he would likely walk away if that changed

Under-pressure Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti has suggested he would considering resigning if he sensed his players losing confidence in his coaching.

Ancelotti has endured a difficult start to his second season in Naples, with the Partenopei – who have finished second in three of the past four campaigns – sitting seventh in Serie A.

Napoli's squad refused to go on a training retreat organised by club president Aurelio De Laurentiis earlier in November, while a six-game winless run in all competitions has piled the pressure on the former Bayern Munich coach.
