Antonio Conte, manager of Napoli, believes that his team’s 3-0 victory over Bologna in their Italian Serie A home opener marked a turning point in their season.
The win came after a humiliating defeat to Hellas Verona in their previous match.
Conte expressed his satisfaction with the performance and emphasized the importance of the victory for the team’s morale. “Today we had a great responsibility, that of giving a great response after the second half in Verona,” he said. “I had no doubts, these guys are good guys. I see them working… and I got important answers.”
The former Italy coach, who has won multiple league titles with Juventus, Inter Milan, and Chelsea, was brought in to revive Napoli after their disappointing 2023/24 season. He believes that the victory over Bologna is a positive step in the right direction.
