Giovanni Manna sheds light on the Scudetto race and disproves all the expert analysts who gave Napoli the favorite without European cups
A few days after the 0-0 away draw against Venezia, Giovanni Manna on the sidelines of the Maestrelli Trophy held in Montecatini comments on the team’s performance in the league as follows:
“We have built a virtuous path and we are playing this chance. Inter is very strong, so let’s see. If you are there, you can go all the way. We have done something important, we have to stay focused.”
Then the Napoli ds continues his analysis of the team and the coach, as TMW reports:
“The choices were made as a function of restarting and rebuilding. The coach has been a key element in this path. He has had a decisive impact in the daily work. His history speaks for him. So, it is a path we are on together, and we have to be happy about it. I also want to thank Chiavelli and President De Laurentiis, who have allowed us to get this far.”
Il sogno Scudetto e il Napoli costruito per altri obiettivi: parla Manna
At the award ceremony were Claudio Ranieri, Filippo Inzaghi, Alberto Zaccheroni, and remotely connected Carlo Ancelotti. Among the evening’s protagonists was Giovanni Manna, who focused on Napoli’s goals and the construction of the roster:
“The Scudetto was a dream, then we lived it. We earned it on the field, we deserved it. We are not yet a team built to win, but the boys every day have shown that they have important values and they are putting them on the field.”

In short, the Azzurri manager wanted to clarify something that has not appeared clear and transparent to many since Antonio Conte’s first days in Naples. The Azzurri club, which finished tenth in the tragic 2023-24 season, needed to find its equilibrium again and set other goals, different from that of the fourth title. A concept that even the coach himself reiterated several times, given that the team does not have a winning framework and has a bench of a lower level than other Serie A opponents. Nevertheless, with nine games to go, Napoli will do everything to try to win the tricolor.
Now, therefore, it is a three-way race. Atalanta, Inter and Napoli have all the cards to end this final rush in the best possible way, despite the fact that the Bergamasks have lost their last two direct home clashes against the Azzurri and the Nerazzurri.
