Former Napoli defender Alessandro Renica has stated that Victor Osimhen’s disciplinary issues can be addressed under Antonio Conte’s leadership.

Renica suggests that Conte, who took over as Napoli’s new manager in June, has a strict approach that could greatly improve the star forward’s performance and career trajectory.

Recently, the Nigeria international had expressed his frustration on social media against former Super Eagles head coach George Finidi.

“Osimhen? Conte’s authority can do him good, given that he is a bit undisciplined. If he were to stay, it will be a great championship with Conte. In any case, we are talking about a top player,” he said

Reports from Italy indicate that Romelu Lukaku is Conte’s preferred striker should Victor Osimhen leave Napoli.

“It seems to me that ADL is making a great effort. I think that, after these expenses, the renewal of Kvara and perhaps the permanence of Osimhen, who for me is stronger than Lukaku, will also have to look a bit at the budget. If some players leave, maybe someone of quality will arrive,” he added

The now 61-year-old played for Napoli from 1985 to 1991, making 136 appearances and scoring 10 goals.
