Napoli have been forced to play their first two games of the season away from home as renovation works at the Stadio San Paolo’s dressing rooms continue.
Ancelotti’s men have been involved in successive 4-3 thrillers on the road to start the season; winning at Fiorentina on the opening day before losing to champions Juventus before the international break.
Napoli released a video on their twitter account on Thursday which revealed that work in both home and away changing rooms is still ongoing with their game against Sampdoria just 48 hours away.
Ancelotti’s anger has been compounded by the fact that Napoli follow Saturday’s game by hosting Liverpool in their Champions League opener on Tuesday, and the former Real Madrid and Chelsea manager has called out the contractors for their shoddy work.
"I have seen the state of the dressing rooms at the San Paolo. There are no words," Ancelotti said in a statement.
"I accepted the club's request to play the first two games away from home to allow the work to be finished, as was promised.
"You can build a house in two months, but they weren't capable of renovating the dressing rooms! Where are we supposed to get changed for the games against Sampdoria and Liverpool?
"I'm shocked at the incompetence of the people in charge of the work.
"How could the Region, Municipality and Commissioners fail to respect the commitments that were made? It smacks of disregard and a lack of a bond with the city's team. I'm dismayed."
