In the 12th round of Italy’s Serie A on November 22, 2025, Napoli will face Atalanta. The champions are clearly not looking to allow another slip-up.
The Naples club collapsed after their Scudetto-winning 2023 season. But last summer, Conte took over as head coach and immediately brought his new team back to the top spot. Currently, the results are rather mixed: only seven wins in Serie A and just four points in the Champions League. Although there is now a slight gap of a couple of points behind Inter and Roma, Antonio has already held urgent talks with De Laurentiis amid rumors of his possible departure.
In Bergamo, Gasperini ended his long and successful tenure, finishing with a third-place spot in Serie A. He was replaced by Juric, but he has already lost his job, which surprised no one: just two wins in the new campaign (although they’ve lost the same number, and in the Champions League have seven points after four rounds). Now, the debut of Palladino is anticipated.
The defending champions are scoring an average of 1.45 goals and conceding 0.91 per match. Their opponents have had a worse ratio, 1.18 scored and 1.0 conceded, but that was under the dismissed coach.
