Cristiano Giuntoli has been billed as the unsung hero for Napoli’s resurgence to the summit of Italian football.
Last week, Gli Azzurri were confirmed as Serie A champions for the first time since 1990 - sparking wild scenes across the city. But for Giuntoli, this was the completion of a task eight years in the making.
The 51-year-old arrived at Napoli in 2015, helping the club transform from nearly men to title winners. Now, reports on the continent are linking him with a Tottenham Hotspur move.
