Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis says there's no panicking over their inconsistent start to the season.

ADL insists he expected slow-going after replacing title-winning coach Luciano Spalletti with Rudi Garcia.

He said, I read all sorts of things after the defeat to Fiorentina.

In life you can have doubts and must evaluate your performance, if there were any errors then I take responsibility. The decisions made over the summer were mine, obviously along with my collaborators.

But that's a long way from sacking the manager A change of coach is always traumatic and there aren't many around who use the 4-3-3 system with a high press, like Sarri and Spalletti.

I had a lot of things to deal with lately, but now I am back and am close to the squad to give them a sense of calm.

We are Napoli, we have qualified in Europe for 15 years in a row. We cannot scream that the house is burning down every time a tiny piece of paper catches fire. We are the fire brigade, decisions must be made calmly and without mistakes dictated by hastiness."
