Manager Antonio Conte

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Napoli have AC, Atalanta, Inter and Roma on the bounce from late October - if they are still top after that then I think they win it.

Great coach, complete lunatic

Anointing champs in October is ridiculously premature..... It's not like Napoli don't have to play those teams listed again in the 2nd half of the season.

Serie A is a lottery... No-one seems to establish dominance from one season to the next.

+ Conte could lose his shit at any point; meaning it all goes to tits.
 
Another manager doing very well after leaving these pastures


Where did the big Conte thread go?
Next 10 days are huge for Conte & Napoli...go to AC and Inter, and in between they welcome in-form Atalanta. Reckon they'll get between 2 and 4 pts out of them 9.

Tbh even if he don't win them the Scudetto and they finish in the top 3, it'd still be a successful season after the uber spectacular implosion of last season.

The debate around this nutter is utterly pointless. Spurs never really 'let Conte down' he is an emotional rollercoster during the best times. Three bereavements and illness done for him. He'd have probably won us something if he cared but he doesn't. He wanted his wife his mummy his kids and mother Italy. He couldn't cope and quit, he effectively engineered his own dismissal those so called truth bombs were just a portal back home. Im convinced If Levy moved the entire first team to Italy, and flew them back to play matches ( thus enabling him to buy he favorite Cannoli and Espresso from his local bar each day) he'd have us competitive at the top of the EPL right now.

I didn't rate Conte tbh. We had a great spell under him where we defended well and Son was in the form of his life. Don't think we appreciate just how good Son was that season, he carried us into the Top 4 on his own.

Our tactics never felt great under Conte, we were on the backfoot alot. Even that season when we made top 4, I remember us going to Burnley with a back 5, creating absolutely nothing and losing 1-0. We did go on a good run after that, woolwich fell apart and we managed to fall into the top 4. But overall the football and performances weren't great. Son was just scoring for fun on the counter so the results were good

I agree - too unstable
 
Some tough fixtures for Napoli coming up. If they're still around the top by the end of November then they’re in the title race.
