Napoli, De Laurentiis is pursuing Andrea Abodi to be club CEO

Napoli's president De Laurentiis is looking to add a director to the club -- an established figure, once who can be involved directly in the operations of Napoli. A candidate for CEO is Andrea Abodi, and in the last few weeks De Laurentiis has met with Abodi in Rome to discuss the possibility. Abodi is the ex-president of the Lega B which oversees Italian second division. De Laurentiis' early attempts to persuade Abodi have not produced an agreement, and the overtures are sure to continue. But Abodi at the moment is also awaiting for the next elections of the Lega B and the transition away from the era which he successfully led.
