Complicated period for Giovanni Manna, Napoli sports director. After the operation on the Achilles tendon that forced him to stop, a new obstacle arrives: the suspension of his driver's license for three months.

The episode: stopped after Conte's celebrations

According to what was reported by Il Mattino, the episode dates back to July 31, when the team was in retreat in Castel di Sangro. Manna was stopped at a checkpoint on the Statale 17 while returning from Rivisondoli, where he had participated in the celebrations for Antonio Conte's birthday.

The checks revealed a blood alcohol level of 0.6 g/l, slightly above the allowed limit (0.5 g/l). The violation, although minor, resulted in the immediate withdrawal of the license.

A complex period for the manager

For Manna, 37 years old, this is a new difficulty in a summer already marked by injury and Napoli's market commitments. The company, engaged in building the team for the 2025/26 season, has not released official statements on the matter, but the episode does not seem destined to have direct repercussions on the manager's work.
