Antonio Conte adds another trophy to his extraordinary career. The Napoli coach received the Manlio Scopigno Award as “Best Coach of Serie A 2024/2025”, delivered directly to the blue sports center by the president of the ASD Scopigno Cup, Fabrizio Formichetti, together with the godmother Souhaila Mia.
The official motivation leaves no room for doubt: "Not just a coach but also the architect of a Napoli capable of winning the fourth Scudetto in its history."

It's a great achievement for Conte, but more was expected. Napoli did well, but I don't know if it's right to give him the accolades alone; the other coaches deserve recognition too. Let's hope he keeps winning.
