Former Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey has questioned whether Vincenzo Italiano could handle the Napoli job.
Viola coach Italiano is being linked with Napoli.
But Frey told TV Play: "Italiano is not mediocre, he has done good things with Fiorentina who played in two finals last year.
"But if we're talking about his move to Napoli which has become a top club, I'm not sure he's ready for such a place. Maybe he lacks some experience but with work he will manage to acquire it.
"Now I have doubts, Naples is a tough place that demands a lot and I wouldn't want him to be questioned immediately. Maybe he doesn't have the broad shoulders to go there yet."
