Antonio Conte acknowledges the immense difficulty of securing back-to-back Serie A championships with Napoli. As the team prepares to begin their title defense, Conte emphasizes a low-key approach, letting their performance speak for itself.
Napoli`s 2025-26 Season Preview
Napoli kicks off their 2025-26 campaign with an away match against newly-promoted Sassuolo on Saturday. This marks their first competitive game since clinching the Scudetto in dramatic fashion at the end of the 2024-25 season.
Conte now faces the unprecedented task of becoming Napoli`s first coach to win multiple league titles. He would also be the first manager to achieve consecutive Serie A victories since Massimiliano Allegri`s feat with Juventus in 2017-18 and 2018-19.
“The fact that I could be the first to win two league titles with Napoli underscores how challenging this goal is,” Conte remarked in an interview. “We need to remain calm and focused. We`ll maintain a low profile and let our results do the talking.”
Conte`s Take on New Signings
Regarding Napoli`s recent acquisitions, Conte praised Kevin De Bruyne`s seamless integration into the team. “He quickly adapted to the differences between Manchester City and Napoli,” Conte noted. “His humility, attentiveness, and intelligence have allowed him to fit in perfectly.”
On Lorenzo Lucca, Conte expressed optimism about the young striker`s potential. “We brought him in to develop behind Lukaku,” he explained. “We`ll see how quickly he progresses and what he can contribute to the team.”
As Napoli embarks on their title defense, all eyes will be on Conte and his squad to see if they can make history in the highly competitive Serie A.
