The Naples he certainly cannot say he is satisfied with his season. Whatever happens, the Azzurri would finish in eighth place at most, which is still an optimistic result given the situation after yesterday’s and Friday’s results. However, a small hope comes from UEFA that the Neapolitan club can play in Europe again next year. In addition to the possibility, very remote at this moment, of overriding the Florentine for the now former Italian champions there would also be the chance to go to Conference League if the lilies won the competition.
Everything depends on Fiorentina
If the Fiorentina beat Olympiakos, in the final on June 1st, would open up a further European slot for Italian football. In this case, in fact, even those who finish ninth would not leave the tournament with the so-called match in hand. The clarification came from UEFA to clarify an intricate case. At the moment it would be Torino who would be enjoying it, by virtue of last night’s success against the Milan which allowed the Granata to overtake Napoli in the standings. But at the end of the championship there are still 90 minutes left (180 for the Viola) in which something can still happen.
The weight of the calendar on the last day
The Naples should naturally beat the Lecce to the last of the championship. A mission that was anything but prohibitive for Francesco Calzona’s men against the Giallorossi who were already safe. At the same time, Torino should not do the same at Atalanta, with the Orobic side already certain of qualification for the Champions League and who will also be returning from the efforts of the Europa League final. Then there is the situation linked to Fiorentina who have two matches to play, both away: first against Cagliari and then against the Dea well after the natural deadline of the championship, on 2 June.
The Conference is a future to be written
Regardless of how it ends, it is clear that the Conference League is not a competition that particularly warms blue hearts. Without prejudice to the fact that the championship would have been a difficult achievement to repeat, the season took a decidedly unexpected turn for the worse. Aurelio De Laurentiis has been working on the future of Napoli for some time and in the coming weeks he will dissolve any reservations about the next coach of the Campania team. Meanwhile, a piece has already been inserted with the appointment to be made official Giovanni Manna as ds.
