Napoli coach Carlo Ancelotti said Wednesday he was "outraged" by the state of the changing rooms at the San Paolo stadium following building work carried out by local authorities who own the ground, with the club's Champions League opener against holders Liverpool in less than a week.
The Serie A outfit had to play their opening two league games away from home, at Fiorentina and reigning champions Juventus, due to the reconstruction of the stadium.
"I saw the conditions of the San Paolo dressing rooms. There are no words," Ancelotti told the club's website.
"I am outraged by the incorrectness and inadequacy of those who had to carry out these jobs," the three-time Champions League-winning coach added.
The side, who finished 11 points behind Juve last term, are set to host Sampdoria Saturday in the Italian top flight and Liverpool in Europe three days later.
Ancelotti, 60, questioned if the facilities would be available for his players ahead of the fixtures scheduled for Saturday and Tuesday.
"In two months you can build a house, they have not been able to redo the changing rooms! Where should we change to play against Sampdoria and Liverpool?"
"How have the region, municipality and commissioners been able to disregard the commitments they made?"
"We are not late, in fact we are ahead of contractual times."
