Yes, I also believe that Napoli will rediscover the key that was lost previously and that key is only with Antonio Conte who will later help Napoli to win back the Scudetto like when they were with Spalletti but I have doubts in my mind whether Napoli can keep Conte if in the future in the first season experienced a bit of failure?
This question is always in my mind because doubts like this will definitely be experienced by most Napoli supporters who have witnessed Napoli's bad last season. Replacing the coach several times makes the club very bad, while a new coach needs time to adapt to the Napoli players to can put together plans and strategies that will be used in the coming season.
That doesn't mean I doubt Antonio Conte, but we can't predict whether Conte will be able to produce very good results in just 1 season quickly or whether he will only get 2nd place in the points table.
I also agree that Napoli should at least get new, more reliable players in defense because last season they conceded in large numbers and in the midfield there will probably still be changes but there is no confirmation at this time who the new players Napoli will recruit.

After winning against Poland last day, this is what Denzel Dumfries said to SKY Sports.

It would absolutely be very dumb decision from Inter if they do not give Dumfries a contract extension. He makes the defense of the team a lot stronger. There is a reason why Inter has conceded the least amount of goals in this season. It was the defensive line of the team. And Dumfries was a big reason for that. So it will be kind of a stupid decision if they do not want to keep one of the strongest players of the defensive line in the squad.

By the way, I am pretty sure that there is nothing to worry about and they are most probably going to offer him a new contract. If they don’t for some reason, you know, there will be a lot of clubs who will be looking for him.

Of course, Napoli will have an opportunity to return to their best level again with Conte. We all know Conte is one of the most great coaches, he is also very familiar with Serie A competition. And Conte even won the scudetto with Juventus and Inter Milan. We must still remember how strong Juventus was under his management in 2011 until 2014. They could win 3 Serie A titles in a row (2011/12, 2012/13, 2013/14). With this great history, I'm quite optimistic with Napoli in this season.

I just hope Napoli will buy some new players to strengthen their squad. In the defense line, Napoli looks quite weak. They also needs to add some talented players in midfield line to support the attackers. Meanwhile in the attacking line, I hope Conte can ensure Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia to stay in this season. These players have a very important role for the attacking of Napoli. At least, one of them can stay for a longer season.

Thangs are getting wired about Khvicha Kvaratskhelia the player of Napoli. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had a perfect performance in the last season when they won the Serie A title and he was linked to many famous teams but he stayed in Napoli.
Just after that, he was interested in playing for Real Madrid and then Barcelona, and then after these two teams, we saw him showing interest in PSG.
It seems after the bad performance he had in this season which was not good enough compared to the last season now he just wants to leave he doesn't care where.
Even his agent said he is not going to play for Napoli anymore.
 

Thiago Motta is a proven manager at Bologna. He likes to do everything step by step. For him Bologna spent the highest transfer expenditure in their history and Bologna had a successful season for themselves. Motta is a good strategist and knows what he wants. Motta experiments with tactics and now I believe he will have successful seasons at Juventus. He is a man who will radically change the tactical mentality of Juventus and Gianluca Ferrero can give Motta an unlimited budget for success. Because giving Motta what he wants is crucial for Juventus to win the Serie A championship.

We hope that the competition for the Scudetto next season will be fierce, even though we know Inter will continue to dominate, but at least Simone Inzaghi squad will no longer lead the standings alone without experiencing significant pressure. Milan, Juventus and Napoli are three teams that are considered to be Inter closest competitors, but personally I am a little worried about the abilities of these three teams, because they are starting their journey next season with a new manager. Of course they need time to adapt, so the change of manager might also be an opportunity for Simone Inzaghi to retain the Scudetto.

On the other hand, Atalanta, Bologna and Roma could also make a surprise, they also have the opportunity to enliven the competition, thus creating a more competitive Serie A atmosphere. Conte is the manager with the heaviest burden, because he has to lift the performance of Napoli ranked 10th to the top four in the standings. Conte reputation as a quality manager has been proven, but everything also depends on the depth of the squad he has. If Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia leave, Conte will have difficulty managing Napoli.

In this season, Juventus not signed many players behind their participants only in domestic league and Copa Italia but next season will participants in Champion League with new format and have many matches than old format.
Its required for Juventus sign many players to make easily with their manager Thiago Motta rotate some players when have busy schedule match, linked with many players from Sancho until  Greenwood but Juventus not official release yet with their first success signing under Thiago Motta era.

After long time absent participants in champion league, Juventus will return back for next season and they need get consistent performance for dominating in domestic league not winning the Scudetto more than four consecutives season and keep quit well performance for the first appearance in Champion League missing in this season.

If referring to Conte's big name then of course there will be a new hope for Napoli now because after all Conte even with his temper that is sometimes difficult to control but he is one of the coaches who is indeed very good and we cannot underestimate how his concoction in managing a club.

But on the other hand this also depends on the players in the end whether they can indeed make a difference and realize Conte's wishes or not because we also cannot rule out that Conte is not reluctant to leave even though his contract has only been running for a short time because he sees some great coaches who are training at this time, Conte is one of the coaches who is not really at home with a long contract because in his current coaching record he has never been in one club for a long time because he always leaves on an existing contract so that for Napoli it also does not rule out such a possibility which makes this 50/50 whether in the end Conte can give his best or leave quickly because of the lack of fit between Napoli's playing style and the scheme he has.

I think that Napoli has a chance with Conte, it looks like he wants to keep all the key players and bring in some of the other teams, so there is optimism about Napoli, but for Juventus I can’t say the same, I’m not even sure how good Motta is for Juventus. I also don’t see them actively working on the transfer market, so I think they will fighting for a place in the Champions League, but nothing more. And I agree that it will be difficult to compete with Inter, they have retained the team and can repeat their success again.

Inter's performance was superb and outstanding in the league and that was why they were able to win the league even before the matches were over. It is the best thing that every club wants to always do better than the previous season and when that is achieved, it shows that they are progressing. Since they didn't go far in UCL, they decided to use Seria A to console themselves.

This upcoming season will also be great for them because I did not see any much changes in the team because they are good to go with the current squad that they have in the team for next season challenges in all competitions. The club still need to improve in performance a d cover whatever lapses that they have which might be a hindrance for them of going far in UCL next season.

If Juventus wants to win in the competition to get Sancho then Juventus should be braver in making an offer. Because Juventus must realize that Dortmund is also targeting this player. Dortmund intends to borrow him again but if that fails, Dortmund is thinking about buying the player permanently. And as usual, it is reported that Juventus is also looking for other ways to get Sancho, such as by exchanging players or something like that. But I don't think that will work. Because Man United will only focus on releasing these players without anything else. It is even reported that clubs from Saudi Arabia are also eyeing this player. And yes, it could be said that Sancho is on the list of players who are being sought after in the transfer market this time. So Man United will definitely maintain the selling price of this player considering the many clubs interested in bringing in Sancho.

I know you're excited about the Sancho rumors. This deal is far from done.

Dortmund, to start with, wants him back. That makes sense. He's at ease there and they know his talent. Given their difficulties getting rid of him, United might be tempted by that. Second, United wants to sell, not loan. Sancho was overpaid for, and they want some of that money back. A loan deal doesn't help them with that.

Juve has to make a strong offer. A great one. And I dont know if Juve is willing to pay top dollar. They've got other priorities, other players they need to focus on.

Im not saying its impossible, but I wouldnt bet on it. If I were you, I'd keep my expectations low. Both ways could happen with this, and Juve doesn't seem to be doing well at the moment.

Don't worry mate. Motta is working to improve Juventus, and he has identified specific players to be recruited by the club. Juventus is still in talks with United over the prospect of recruiting Jadon Sancho from the Red Devils; nevertheless, Jadon was not the top target because Greenwood declined Juventus' offer.

Juventus has altered its preference to the secondary pick, Jadon Sancho, but the search is not over; Juventus must also find a replacement for chiesa, who has asked Juventus if he can depart from there. Chiesa has one season left at Juventus, and he intends to leave from the club.

Anyway, what Juventus needs are some quality strikers, and juventus are ready to swap some players to be exchanged with their target. The process of upgrading the squad will take a long time, and i can only hope that Motta does not face many obstacles while recruiting new talents. In the end, motta's main task will be achieved if he can recruit all of the targeted players to join in the old lady.

Last season Juventus didn't spend much on players. In fact, Juventus actually released a lot of players or released many players in the transfer market last summer. Because at that time Juventus was only focused on Serie A. So they felt they didn't really need some players and let them go. But in the coming season, Juventus has a busy schedule because they will also play in the UCL. So Juventus really needs to rebuild their squad so that they remain ready for the busy schedule they will face. Next season everything will also be very different. Because Juventus has a new coach after always being with Allegri for a long time.

So far no player has been officially announced to be signed by a the big teams because indeed many of the players they are currently targeting are still playing in the euro and also focusing on the Copa América, but indeed Milan, Inter, Juventus and several other teams have been actively moving to recruit the players they need to improve the quality of their team next season, I think for now the club is more inclined to postpone the inauguration of the agreement with the new player in order to keep the player focus with their national team, this season we see an incredible resilience from InterMilan in winning the Scudetto but it will be difficult for InterMilan to maintain the Scudetto next season if they do not improve the quality and quantity of their squad later.

I am quite sure that Serie A next season  will be very tight, because currently many big teams are starting to improve their squads, both changing coaches and also targeting new players for them to get, many changes in the Serie A club club of course allow us to see many surprises that will occur next season, Roma and Napoli this season are not performing optimally in the scudetto competition, but if you look at the ambitions of Roma and Napoli this season which have having a new coach, of course we have the potential to see them get better next season, especially since Conte and Inzaghi reportedly have received support and also big funds from their management.

To be honest, I haven't received any official news about the players they will recruit next season. Juventus and AC Milan are indeed tough competitors for Inter Milan for next season. I can say that this season Juventus and AC Milan cannot put pressure on Inter Milan who dominate Serie A. But if they are active in the transfer market this season I think they will really be a tough competitor for Inter Milan.

I don't know how AS Roma and Napoli will fare next season. As Roma will be better next season because I see De Rossi is a great coach. Napoli performed very badly this season. I'm not sure they will be contenders for the Serie A title next season.

So far I have not seen any news with confirmed information that says that Juventus has made major player signings, and therefore I assume that next season Juventus will have more than 90% of the same squad and also in my opinion the performance of Juventus next season will not be very different from the performance they had in this season that ended recently, I say this because looking at Bologna's performance, it can be seen that the style of play that Bologna's coach had was very similar to the style game that the Juventus coach had. If the Juventus management really wanted to win Serie A, then they would have sought to hire a coach with great experience in Serie A and who had achieved a lot in Serie A.


Antonio Conte is a good coach and if he can make good hires, then he could improve Napoli, but the problem is that Napoli's management is impatient, they want results in the coach's first season, so it is difficult to build a team stable and long-term winner. Napoli's management needs to be aware that their chances of winning Serie A next season are slim because Antonio Conte will still be getting used to the Napoli squad and their opponents.

Juventus must work hard to build their squad next year. In my opinion, Juventus' prudence will ease its path to success. If Manchester United give Juventus a chance, surely Juventus can defend its honor.

unfortunately its true, Inter Milan dominated by always winning and losing very little, maybe they lost 3 games or so
this is the secret to winning, working for years and making a stable team
changing coaches and players often doesnt do any good to a winning team, see also Real Madrid.. they change less every year

a lot depends on the limited economic availability, as I said elsewhere (I don`t remember where)
let`s remember that it`s been two years since he played cups so the income from the cups is not there, and therefore he has less economic availability
I am curious to know where they will get the money
