Napoli continue their preparations for the 2023-24 campaign as they go head-to-head with SPAL in a friendly at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino on Monday.
Gli Azzurri kicked off their pre-season friendlies with an emphatic victory over Italian amateur side Anaune Val di Non and will look to keep the juggernaut rolling.
The Rudi Garcia era got underway with a bang and the French tactician watched his Napoli side steamroll Anaune Val di Non 6-1 on Thursday.
This was Garcia’s first game at the helm of affairs since taking over from Luciano Spalletti, who led the Naples outfit to their first Serie A title triumph in three decades last season.

Napoli will now look to pick up from where they dropped off on Thursday as they ramp up preparations for their league opener against Frosinone on August 19.
A final-day 2-1 victory over Pisa was too little too late to salvage SPAL’s season as they were relegated from Serie B after a horrid campaign.
Domenico Di Carlo’s men won just eight of their 38 league matches while losing 16 and claiming 14 draws to collect 38 points and finish 19th in the table, five points off safety.
SPAL will look to pick up the pieces and put together a solid run of form ahead of their quest to secure immediate promotion.
