Former Napoli centre-forward Cristiano Lucarelli says Antonio Conte is the best manager for Romelu Lukakau.
Lucarelli expressed this in light of the Belgian international’s great start to life with Napoli in the Serie A this current season.
In an interview with Radio Kiss Kiss, Lucarelli stated that no manager has been able to make Lukaku feel significant like Conte.
“He is the ideal striker for Napoli, but I think (Antonio) Conte is the ideal coach for Lukaku. No one has managed to make this player feel important more than Conte.
“Lukaku has several qualities, a physical superiority, but it’s not like he has done as well as he does every time he works with Conte. The coach has entered his head, Lukaku feels the coach’s trust and the numbers say it all.
“There is a chemistry that goes beyond football, Conte feels safe with Lukaku in attack.”
