Conte takes three days off. Naples officials say this is an arrangement that has been discussed by both parties long ago.

Hupu reported on November 13 that "Turin Sports News" reported that Naples coach Antonio Conte will take a three-day vacation, and the players who stayed in the team during the international match have completed training under the leadership of Strini today.

Relevant reports stated that Antonio Conte, known for his high intensity, high morale and "not slacking off for a moment", also decided to stop. He will take three days off, an arrangement that has been formally agreed upon with the club. During this period, he will stay away from the Volturno Fort training base and stay away from the increasingly tense team atmosphere.

The head coach is currently absent from team affairs and will return to the team on Monday, November 17. The team (excluding players recruited by the national team) has completed training under the leadership of Strini. Conte is reported to be traveling to Turin to reunite with his family.

The club emphasizes that this is a vacation that has been planned for a long time, but at the point where the team's morale is low after losing to Bologna, the vacation at this moment is particularly sensitive.

The 0-2 defeat at Dalara Stadium was no accident. This result was more like a signal that the team was slightly tired and confused. Napoli's performance has exposed cracks that can no longer be dismissed as fluctuating circumstances on the campaign.

The head coach is deeply worried about the team's declining status. He bluntly stated after the game: "I don't want to coach a lifeless team." This straightforward statement led to speculation that the team has fallen into an extreme situation, and there are even rumors that Conte may dismiss get out of class. But De Laurentiis quickly denied the speculation.

Now the head coach will use the vacation to clear his mind, and the club's statement also confirms this: "Mr. Antonio Conte has already planned and agreed with the club and will return to the Naples Football Club training center on Monday, November 17."

The club tried to send a calm signal, emphasizing that "the vacation has long been agreed upon," denying the existence of secret talks with De Laurentiis and the absence of internal conflicts. But the coincidence at this point in time still makes many good people suspicious.

Currently, rumors related to Naples continue to ferment. From Lobotka's agent updates to the behind-the-scenes stories of Koeman and Noah Long, there are different opinions. Conte is a perfectionist, like a hammer that never stops, but at this moment he seems to need a brief break. Although this is a natural choice, under the current situation, it is inevitably given symbolic meaning.
