Napoli social media executive resigns after Osimhen TikTok scandal: Alessio Fortino, Napoli’s social media administrator, has resigned from his position with the Italian club. Enoughinfo.com
This follows a spat sparked by videos released on their Tik Tok account. That appeared to insult striker Victor Osimhen, prompting his agent to threaten legal action.
The first video showed the 24-year-old pleading for a penalty, with sped-up audio labelled ‘Gimme penalty please’ before firing the spot-kick wide of the post.
The second video from the club’s account compared Osimhen to a “coconut,” which is usually seen as a racist insult. But this has since been removed.

Fortino wrote,
“Today, after 805 days, my professional adventure with SSC Naples ends. For many this job would be comparable to a dream, for me it was simple daily reality: a reality built on commitment and fueled by the constant desire to learn and play.
“I cannot help but express my deepest gratitude to all the colleagues, collaborators, partners and supporters I’ve met along this long journey for making this experience so special.
“Leaving the company with a baggage of great memories and an excitement for the new adventures that lie ahead. Thanks again for everything and see you soon! Alessio.”
