Naples, Conte is already the record man: that’s why

Four games to enter history. After the success on Turin and the contextual defeat of Inter against Roma, Napoli returned only to the top with three points ahead. Everything can still happen, of course, but the banner of the finish line in the meantime has approached a little. It would be an even more sensational company, compared to that of two years ago. First of all because it has never happened in the Serie A with twenty teams that wins the Scudetto the formation that closed in tenth place the year before. It happened only once, but in a championship in eighteen participants, by Milan in 1999, which had ended tenth in 1998. It would also become a Guinness goal for Antonio Conte, who could be the first coach in the history of Italian football to conduct three different teams to the title of champion, after having succeeded with Juventus (2012, 2013, 2014) and Inter (2021). Until the events of Calciopoli would have equaled Fabio Capello (four with Milan and one with Roma), who then saw themselves removed with those obtained with Juve. Just together with Capello, Conte would occupy the third step of the podium among the most winning technicians of Serie A: Trapattoni is 7 championships, Allegri at 6, Capello and Lippi at 5.

Southern man

–

In 29 years of career, also considering the triumphs as a footballer, Conte won 9 badges. The thirtieth year could correspond to the tenth title, for a considerable average of a championship won every three years of career. In addition, in the De Laurentiis era that began in 2004, no coach did better than him in the first season in blue. In 34 games Sarri had reached 73 points in 2016, Spalletti at 67 in 2023, Ancelotti at 70 in 2019, Benitez at 68 in 2013. If we also add a pinch of southern pride, the Salentino Conte is already the most winning technician in Southern Italy and would become the first southern to lead a southern team to glory. A company in the company.
