Last week official handle of Napoli on TikTok published a video(now deleted) trolling Victor Osimhen for his penalty miss away at Bologna few weeks ago.
Osimhen in the second-half of a Serie A fixture against Bologna, missed a goal-scoring opportunity from the spot. And when he was substituted later in the game by coach Rudi Garcia, was caught on Camera expressing dissatisfaction as he made his way to the substitute’s bench.
Alessio Fortino we understand, wasn’t responsible for the creating and publishing the TikTok video. And his resignation is not even related to the Victor Osimhen/Napoli row; as he had already made up his mind to resign sometime ago.
