Coach Conte makes history

Antonio Conte has won three Serie A titles with Juventus (2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14), Inter Milan (2020-21) and now Napoli (2024/25).

When Antonio Conte started the 2024/25 season by apologizing to Napoli fans after a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Hellas Verona, no one could have predicted that he would end the season cheering from the very fans who had doubted him.

With a 2-0 victory over Cagliari in the final round, Napoli officially won the Serie A championship with 82 points, exactly 1 point more than defending champion Inter Milan.

Conte was thanked by his students after winning the Serie A championship.

This is the fourth Scudetto title in Napoli's history and is a testament to Conte's unquestionable talent.

When Conte took over at Napoli last summer, he became the club’s fifth manager in just over a year. Napoli had just endured one of their worst seasons, falling from champions in 2023 to 10th place the following season. Memories of glory under Luciano Spalletti seemed to have evaporated.

Conte brought about changes not only in the tactical system but also in the playing attitude. With a strict, disciplined and meticulous coaching style, he quickly restructured the squad and breathed into it a fiery fighting spirit.

Conte did not have the players to win the championship in 2023. Victor Osimhen, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Kim Min-jae were all gone. However, Napoli did not collapse. Conte recruited new players and built an equally effective team.

Romelu Lukaku, reuniting with Conte after a successful spell at Inter, was the main man up front with 14 goals and 10 assists. But the surprise name was former Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

Joining Napoli in August, McTominay quickly became the heartbeat of the midfield. With 12 goals in Serie A and a series of impressive performances, he was named “Player of the Season.” He also opened the scoring in the decisive match against Cagliari.

Just a month ago, Inter Milan were leading the title race and dreaming of a treble, having reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia and the semi-finals of the Champions League. However, the pressure of competing on three fronts has seen Inter lose form at a crucial time. Three consecutive defeats, without scoring a single goal, have seen them eliminated from the cup and fall behind Napoli in the title race.

Meanwhile, Conte's Napoli maintained stability until the final rounds. The victory over Cagliari was not only an affirmation of their mettle but also a testament to their ability to control pressure and break through at the right time.
