JAKARTA Napoli officially sacked their executive or social media admin, Alessio Fortino after the club's TikTok account uploaded a video that was considered mocking Victor Osimhen for missing a penalty.

Osimhen became the object of ridicule through two videos uploaded to Napoli's official TikTok account, one of which mocked the failure of his penalty against Bologna, while the second video compared it to coconut.

This situation angered the last season's top scorer, as well as upset a number of his close associates, supporters, and government officials in his home country, Nigeria.

As a result of the strong reaction, Fortino, who has managed Napoli's social media accounts for two and a half years, has now had to leave his position.

Calciomercato mengungkapkan bahwa Fortino tidak memproduksi video TikTok itu sendiri, tetapi orang yang memproduksinya disebut secara pribadi telah meminta maaf kepada Osimhen sendiri.

Fortino released a personal statement confirming his departure from Napoli, although he did not refer to Osimhen or posts on TikTok.

Today, after 805 days, my professional adventure with SSC Napoli is over. For many people, this job is a dream, for me, this is a daily reality. A reality built on commitment and driven by a continuous desire to learn," he said.

"I can't help but express my deepest gratitude to all the colleagues, collaborators, partners, and fans I met during this long journey for making this experience so special. I left Napoli with a myriad of great memories and enthusiasm for the new adventure that awaits me. Once again thank you for everything and see you again," concluded Alessio Fortino.
