Rudy Garcia has lost the Napoli dressing room! Osimhen and Khvicha are raging

The Partenopei were held to a goalless draw at Bologna, and the Nigerian was fuming after being subbed off

Not only did they drop two points at Bologna, stretching their winless Serie A streak to three games, but Sunday's goalless draw could be a breaking point for the defending champion Napoli. For all the wrong reasons.

Albeit their performance was dull as usual for this campaign, with only one or two decent goal-scoring opportunities, the Partenopei were given a chance for salvation in the second half. However, Victor Osimhen missed a penalty, hitting it too wide. That triggered coach Rudi Garcia, who lost the plot with his two top stars, Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratschelia, and opted for subs. The Georgian winger was the first to be sent to the bench, as he didn't hide his disappointment for Garcia's decision.

Still, it was nothing compared to Osimhen's rage when the Neapolitans' coach decided to sub him off. It infuriated Osimhen, who was visibly angry as he walked off, while DAZN pitchside reporters noted he was shouting at Garcia in French that he wanted 'two strikers' to work together in order to get the victory.

Rudi Garcia has lost the dressing room, and we're probably getting close to seeing a shocking job loss in the upcoming weeks.
