Lille coach Christophe Galtier has opened the door to a move to Napoli.

After winning the Ligue 1 title, Galtier is being linked with the vacant post at Napoli.

"This is the right moment, I spoke to the President and told him that I am leaving the club," Galtier told L'Equipe.

“I am convinced that I've achieved all I can here. I leave Lille with an incredible result, but I need something different and don't want to fall into a routine.

“I need a change of scenery and there are no geographic limits on the choice."

The coach was asked outright which clubs he is considering.

“Of the sides that made offers, there are three right now that interest me. They are Lyon, Nice and Napoli. I think I'll make my decision by the end of this week.

“My choice will not be financial, as if I'd focused on that, I wouldn't still be in Europe. The contract will be more or less the same wherever I go.

“It's about an opportunity. Napoli are interested in me, but also in other coaches, so I don't know what my position is there. I had thought they were close to signing Sergio Conceicao…

“I received a message this morning from Napoli, but I was with my President. I told him that Napoli had sent messages of congratulations for our title."
