Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has admitted that he made a major mistake in hiring former Italy head coach Roberto Donadoni last season.

Donadoni's men have made a slow start to the new campaign and De Laurentiis sounds like he is preparing to make a change.

He told Sky Italia: "Often when we make decisions, we get caught up in the moment and that's what happened to me when I called Donadoni.

"I had to sign a new coach to shake up the locker room and send a signal to the squad, but in doing so I pushed aside a great friend like Edy Reja.

"Would I take that route again? It was a decision I had to make, but with the benefit of hindsight and the experience I have now, I'd say no.

"I would not do that again."
