Matt Rizzetta, founder of investment firm Underdog Global Partners, has his sights set on a new venture, SSC Napoli.
At the end of 2025, Underdog began a push to buy SSC Napoli from the De Laurentiis family, which purchased the club out of bankruptcy in 2004 and returned it to glory with two of the last four Serie A titles. As of this month, Rizzetta said those talks were ongoing.
