Naples
While Napoli ended their season in the worst possible way, De Laurentiis took his time with the new coach. Yesterday at the “Maradona” the Azzurri concluded the championship with yet another draw: a 0-0 against a Lecce without goals and marked by two posts. Yet another lackluster test and finishing in tenth place. Placement that puts Napoli out of Europe and with two additional rounds of the Italian Cup to play. A real disaster in the year after the championship. Three coaches changed and performance in constant decline, with the last victory coming almost two months ago. And Maradona greeted the nightmare season with a very strong protest: above all the players were targeted, but also the president De Laurentiis.
No greeting or initiative for the departing Zielinski and Osimhen: not even the striker was spared from the whistles, as was captain Di Lorenzo. Now we’re turning the page, and we’re all waiting for the new coach. The fans are waiting for Antonio Conte, but those who were waiting for an announcement were disappointed. At the conference on racism the president took his time: “I can’t say anything because the next ten days will be decisive after having made all the appropriate, necessary assessments – said the president – it’s not the cheering that must win but the fairness of reasoning”. Words that make it clear that the negotiation is still open: Conte has asked for a three-year contract with staggering figures. While waiting for the agreement, a few more days of patience will be needed.
