In as much as Napoli player's will take some time before they adapt to the coaching pattern of their new manager Rudi Garcia who replaced Luciano Spalletti after the latter stepped down from his role as the club manager, I think they can still do well this season or probably retain the Italian Serie A title with the new manager.
Their performance last weekend is a proof that the players are already doing exactly what the new managers demands of them and with their lethal and clinical Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen at his best, Napoli still has all it takes to retain the title

Seria A will be more competitive than last season, Napoli will fight to retained their title, not an easy route for them to take. Napoli will not win the Scudetto two times in a row, it's not possible, probably not under the new coach, Rudi Garcia. He needs more time to adapt to the club and the players, basically there's enough time for the new boss to implement a solid winning strategy. Victor Osimhen is a top player that needs to get all the necessary goals and assists he could possibly lay his hands on, because there's absolutely no time for reluctant actions.

I think it is too early to predict if Napoli won't be available to win Scudetto this season, as far as serie-a is concerned this season Napoli is the most favourite to become the Champions for the season. Looking from the games Napoli have played so far for the season their performance still look lusty and outstanding, I don't think any other team in the Italian league will be this very strong to challenge Napoli from winning the league, Napoli has one of the best striker that is very good in scoring goals.

Napoli is obviously the defending champion of Serie A. But of course they had a change in authority. So that is something which might be a little problematic for them later into the season. And they will definitely need some time to actually sync with the tactics that the coach is trying to implement. I absolutely agree with @Rockstarguy that it is actually really early to say anything. I think we will be able to successfully predict what is going to happen in the future after we see them playing 10 more matches.

@borovichok was also right. The serie A is definitely going to be more competitive in this season. So it is definitely going to be tough for Napoli to actually defend the league title successfully, especially with the new authority.

The result of Napoli's first league game of the season if you ask me is a true reflection of how well the players have blended in with the football philosophy and style of the new manager. Rudi Garcia I think had earlier watch different clips from the clubs games and performance last season and decided to bring in a formation and playing pattern that's very similar to what they had last season making it easy for the players to adapt.
For a fact, the new Italian Serie A season is gonna be more competitive than what we saw last season but I'm backing Napoli to retain the title this season.
