Conte downplayed Napoli's chances of retaining the Serie A title for 2025-26, citing the team's status as a "work in progress". Despite leading Napoli to last season's Scudetto, the team has seen significant player turnover with 13 new signings and 7 departures, including key players like Osimhen and Raspadori. Napoli has a 14% chance of winning the top flight, according to a supercomputer. Conte acknowledged the extraordinary nature of their previous success while emphasizing the need for stability and a complete squad capable of competing across tournaments.
Since I arrived a year ago, we signed 13 new players and sold seven, among them top players like Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giacomo Raspadori.
It's true we won the title, which was extraordinary and incredible, but now we need to take the second step before we can think about taking the third.
Not many teams who want to be competitive for the Scudetto can handle all this movement. We are still in the reconstruction stage.
Now we are trying to complete a squad that was not capable of being competitive over several different tournaments.
