Napoli Faces Turmoil: From Champions to Chaos in Less Than a Year
A series of managerial changes and strategic missteps have led to Napoli's dramatic decline, marking their worst Serie A performance in decades.
- A single email from Napoli's president initiated a chain of events leading to the team's downfall, including the resignation of coach Luciano Spalletti.
- Napoli's performance has significantly deteriorated, now positioned 31 points behind Serie A leaders Inter, marking their worst season in the three-points-per-win era.
- The team's failure to advance in the Champions League has also cost them a spot in the FIFA expanded Club World Cup, benefiting Juventus instead.
- Key players and staff have left or are leaving, including Victor Osimhen and Piotr Zielinski, with a major summer overhaul anticipated.
- Despite the turmoil, there's a slim hope for Napoli to salvage their season and secure a top-five finish, but significant changes are needed.
