For the latest calcio Napoli a focus on the challenge between Antonio Conte and Claudio Ranieri ahead of the big match at the Olimpico scheduled for tomorrow, Feb. 2. Roma is ready to host the leading team, which has no intention of falling into missteps that can cost them dearly. The partenopei have a giant chance after the Atalanta draw, but especially following the derby between AC Milan and Inter that will be played right before the match in the capital.

Antonio Conte is aware of the pitfalls of a match like tomorrow’s and does not underestimate Claudio Ranieri.

There is an incredible fact about these two coaches: never has any match between Conte and Ranieri ended in a draw. The score speaks of 11 net results: victory for one and defeat for the other. The very first meeting dates back to November 2009 with Antonio Conte on the bench of Atalanta, defeated 2-1 by Ranieri’s own Roma with goals from Vucinic and Perrotta.
Conte si è riscattato due anni più tardi, nel 2011, alla guida della Juventus contro l’Inter. Un 2-1 firmato Vucinic (questa volta sotto la guida del tecnico salentino) e Marchisio. Nel settembre del 2016, i due allenatori si sono affrontati anche in Inghilterra. Si trattava della stagione successiva alla vittoria del campionato da parte del Leicester, che nell’annata 16-17 si è ritrovato a perdere ben 3 volte contro il Chelsea di Conte, che vincerà poi il campionato. La prima sfida termina 4-2, mentre le altre due per 3-0.
Solamente nel 2021, Claudio Ranieri è riuscito ad avere nuovamente la meglio su Conte in un Sampdoria-Inter 2-1 firmato Candreva e Keita Baldé. Dopo un’altra parentesi in Premier, questa volta con il Tottenham che ha avuto la meglio sul Watford. L’ultimo precedente, ovviamente, risale allo scorso novembre, con l’1-0 in favore del Napoli grazie al gol del grande ex Lukaku.
