Moggi: Conte never said he wanted to leave, but public opinion said he wanted to leave Naples as soon as he opened his mouth

In an interview on November 17, Moggi talked about Naples coach Conte, Juventus coach Spalletti and other topics.

Naples coach Conte publicly criticized the players after losing in the last round of Serie A. Now he has taken leave and has not returned to the team to guide training.

Naples is currently ranked second in the Serie A standings. This ranking is very good, but its performance is poor. After losing to Bologna, he was angry. Although the team's ranking was good, he thought of Napoli's last Serie A championship, which ranked 10th in the season, and he did not want to repeat the same mistake. So he gave everyone an advance warning that everyone needed to behave better. Moreover, it will not be difficult for Napoli to perform better than they did against Bologna.

Will his strategy be effective? There are already rumors that Conte may leave Naples

It depends on the performance in the next game. He was always outspoken and would get dragged into controversies that didn't exist. I never heard him say that he wanted to leave, but as soon as he spoke, or when he was not in Napoli during the national team games, there was talk that he wanted to leave. But that's not the case.

Juventus invited Spalletti to coach. What do you think of this?

This is a good move. He has excellent coaching skills and should be able to win the trust of these young players and improve their performance. However, the overall structure of the team is not very good, and improving performance does not mean winning all games.
