Napoli Leads Serie A Under Antonio Conte

Napoli has ascended to the top of Serie A for the first time since their title-winning season, following a 2-0 victory over Monza. Under coach Antonio Conte, who took over after a tumultuous season that saw the team finish 10th, Napoli has accumulated 13 points from six matches. Conte emphasized the need for hard work and realism, acknowledging that while the lack of European competition allows for focused training, it also limits squad competitiveness. He remains cautious about the expectations placed on him and the team, urging fans to dream but stressing the importance of staying grounded. The win pushed Monza deeper into relegation trouble, as they sit at the bottom of the standings with just three points. Conte's efforts are beginning to restore Napoli's confidence, following significant player departures and managerial changes in recent months.
