Despite of prestige he gained as Roma coach (Italian runner-up in 2014 and 2015), Garcia59 years old, He was not well regarded by Naples fans., who did not consider him up to the task of the institution. Talso President Aurelio De Laurentiis showed him great support.
García developed a large part of his career as a coach in Franceachieving the double league-cup with Lille in 2011reaching the Champions League semi-finals in 2020 with the Lyon and the final of the Europa League in 2018 with the Marseilles.
With the Naples in Champions the technician obtained a defeat with honors against Real Madrid (3-2) but tied 1-1 against Unión Berlina team in free fall, which had lost its previous 12 games.
In his last game, against Empoli, Garcia made a decision that is difficult to understand, leaving the Georgian Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the bench, in great shape after a lukewarm start. He entered the second half but could not change the fate of the duel.
