The international break offered Napoli a moment of respite, but it didn't entirely dispel the tension surrounding Antonio Conte's bench. The coach, fresh from an unusual week's break granted by the club, returned to Castel Volturno to oversee the resumption of training ahead of the home match against Atalanta.
The stated goal is to reverse the trend after a series of lackluster performances that have dented initial enthusiasm. However, the expectation for a turnaround is intertwined with bookmakers' assessments, which continue to consider an early departure possible. According to Agipronews, Snai is offering odds of 2 on the possibility of a dismissal or resignation by January 6th, a sign of less than solid confidence.
The mood isn't any lighter elsewhere either: Maurizio Sarri, in open conflict with the Lazio team, is among the most vulnerable managers in analysts' predictions, with Sisal rating his departure at 4,50. Between numbers, tensions, and expectations, the return to work alone isn't enough to reassure the Neapolitan team, which is looking for answers from the pitch rather than predictions.
