Antonio Conte left Naples for Turin, with the aim of having a few days of rest there. A 3-day leave, planned for a long time with the club, but which sparked discussions after the defeat against Bologna (2-0) and his outburst in the locker room. President Aurelio De Laurentiis had to intervene publicly to calm rumors of resignation. While waiting for his return scheduled for November 17, his assistant Cristian Stellini is leading the training sessions at Castel Volturno. The Neapolitan coach tries to recharge his batteries with his family in order to relieve the frustration of a rather mixed start to the season: Naples is 4th in Serie A.
On his return, Conte will have a clear mission: to revive the dynamic of a group lacking confidence. The calendar promises to be formidable, with posters against Atalanta, Roma and Juventus, without forgetting Qarabag and Benfica in the Champions League, nor Cagliari in the Italian Cup. Supported by his management, the 56-year-old Italian technician will have to remobilize his troops and regain that collective intensity which was the strength of the Neapolitans last season.
