Napoli Joins Atalanta at Serie A Top

Antonio Conte's Napoli has seen a remarkable turnaround, currently tied on points with Serie A leaders Atalanta after a 1-0 victory over Venezia, thanks to a late goal from substitute Giacomo Raspadori. This win marks a significant improvement for a team that finished 10th last season amidst three coaching changes. Conte expressed high ambitions for the team, emphasizing his desire for maximum success and the ongoing development of the squad.

The upcoming matches will be crucial as Napoli aims to reclaim its Serie A dominance.
