Investment can’t save Conte, Napoli should concentrate on playing Serie A

In the fourth round of the Champions League, Naples drew with Frankfurt at home. After four rounds, they only scored 4 points and ranked 21st among the top 36. The hope of directly qualifying is very slim.

League experts are not good at European wars

In his more than ten years of coaching career, Conte has always enjoyed the reputation of the "King of Single Lines". He has a high success rate in winning championships in the league, but his performance in the Champions League is always lower than expected, and his best result is only the top eight of the Champions League. From Juventus and Chelsea to Inter Milan and Tottenham, a familiar plot belonging to Conte is unfolding in Naples.

100 million investment is not enough

In the 2025 summer window, Naples spent 100 million euros on signings (including loan fees) and bought many players including Buikma, Noah Long, Gutierrez, De Bruyne and Lorenzo Luca. The goal is to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League while taking into account Serie A. It is a pity that Conte not only failed to achieve good results in the Champions League, but also had a secret feud with De Bruyne. If the gold medal coach cannot control his emotions, it may be difficult for him to stick to the Naples coaching position until the end of the season.
