Bonucci Confident In Conte's Ability To Propel Napoli Back To Serie A Glory
Former Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci has expressed confidence in Antonio Conte's ability to transform Napoli into a top contender in Serie A next season. Conte recently returned to management after a 15-month break, signing a three-year deal with the Partenopei.Napoli clinched the Scudetto in the 2022-23 season with five games to spare but had a disappointing follow-up season, finishing 10th and missing out on European competition. After Luciano Spalletti left in 2023, the club went through three head coaches: Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri, and finally Francesco Calzona, who managed the team during the last months of their lacklustre title defence.Gianluigi Buffon is optimistic about Napoli's prospects this season, predicting they will finish in the top two. Bonucci echoed his former Juventus teammate's sentiments, stating that Conte's arrival will be pivotal for Napoli. "Napoli couldn't have made a better choice after the year they've had," Bonucci told Sky Italia.Bonucci praised Conte as a world-class coach who imparts comprehensive football knowledge to his players. He believes that working with such a talented squad throughout the week will enable Conte to achieve great results. "They've taken on a world-class coach; he teaches you everything about football and gives you the right knowledge," Bonucci said.Conte's first competitive match as Napoli's manager will be against Modena in the Coppa Italia on August 10. The anticipation is high among fans and analysts alike as they look forward to seeing how Conte will shape the team's performance.
