Losing both Serie A and the Champions League, the one-line king can no longer hold on. Should Naples replace Conte?

In the third round of the UEFA Champions League, Naples lost 2-6 to PSV Eindhoven, causing the biggest upset of the round.

With 3 losses in 5 games, Naples is lost in the "double line"

In the past five games, Naples has lost three games, losing to AC Milan and Turin in the league, and losing to Eindhoven in the Champions League. Last season, Naples took advantage of a single schedule to win the league championship. De Laurentiis invested more than 100 million euros in signings in this summer window in order to meet the needs of multi-line operations. The report card Conte has handed over now obviously cannot satisfy the boss.

In the game against Turin last weekend, Conte made a rotation, but unexpectedly he ended up with a disastrous defeat. Naples had no ability to resist in front of Eindhoven. The content and results of the game were terrible, and the attributes of the single-line king were once again revealed.

Overwhelmed by the intensive schedule, it’s time for Naples to make a decision.

Naples’ existing personnel reserves can meet the requirements of multi-line operations, but Conte is really unable to control the intensive schedule. Referring to Conte's experience at Juventus, Inter Milan and Tottenham, it can be seen that this character coach from southern Italy will hardly give up his ideas. If De Laurentiis is satisfied with the results of winning Serie A twice in three years and hopes to achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League, the Vesuvius Legion may have to consider changing a coach.
