Maybe if Francesco Calzona took charge of Napoli earlier then Napoli might not be in such a bad ranking as they are now. But the opportunity to improve the ranking is still open. Even though there aren't many games left this season. But I am sure that with their current coach, Francesco Calzona, Napoli will be able to at least finish in 5th place. But to get to the top 4 I think that is almost impossible. Because there is a fairly large difference in points. or maybe napoli can work hard in the UCL. even though the opponent they faced was a tough opponent. Because, up to now, Barcelona is still strong in the Laliga rankings. So in the second leg of the round of 16 in the UCL, we can be sure that Napoli will have quite a difficult time. Because after all, the position as the visiting team will be quite tough.

Management was too pushy so they appointed the wrong coach and the change in coach that was made previously really didn't have any effect and Napoli's performance actually declined compared to last season. After Francesco Calzona took over as coach, Napoli's performance improved, where they managed to hold Barcelona to a draw in the Champions League and beat Juventus in Serie A. Napoli's performance improved after being coached by Francesco Calzona and their playing style became more coordinated because he combined attack and defense quite consistently.

Now Francesco Calzona's tough task is to beat Barcelona in the second leg and even though it looks a little difficult, that doesn't mean they can't do it. The reason is that Barcelona is also in an unstable condition and Napoli still has a big chance of qualifying for the next round when they face Barcelona at Camp Nou.

I'm still yet to say that Napoli are back to form because these wins were not supposed to be a determination of their return. We need to see more winnings from them. However, if you compare Napoli's performance with their last season's performance, they still have a lot to do. However, I am not sure if they will even take over Bologna's position in the standings because Bologna are doing better than Napoli, in my opinion, so for them, change coaches. Although their former coach needs a replacement, beating Juventus and playing a draw with Barcelona should not determine their performance yet. Let us wait and see if they will continue this way. because, if we should say, they are back to form now and later disappoint it somehow.
