It's crazy, right? Napoli, Serie A champions, then eighth. You're right regarding mentality and consistency. These guys must dig deep to regain hunger. Man, the coaching carousel stinks. It's like building a house on shifting sand. Lack of stability and basis. The board sucked this one. They hire Garcia after Spalletti leaves? Similar to buying a bicycle instead of a Lamborghini. The guy is unsuitable. You need a coach who knows the club's DNA and can motivate, not just manage. Napoli needs someone to channel championship energy and passion. It's the missing component, guy. They must get that right quickly or stay in the mud
Napoli stats this season, 13W 13D 11L which is really a big mess for the club, ranking 10th position on the table, definitely not impressive for the club and their supporters. Napoli was the current champion of Seria A after winning the scudetto last season but this present one is worst performance for the club. This is illustrates to the roots of Luciano Spalleti as headcoach, he deliver the club and won the scudetto after 33 years without lifting it. What's the current situation of Napoli? They're devastated and really need to get back on their kneels.
No one expected Napoli to be like this and there is also nothing to expect from Napoli this season, just imagine after their success last season they actually had to decline significantly, I don't feel that they were champions last season, because this season they failed to show their identity that they are a club that holds the status of defending champion.
Spalletti's departure was very noticeable, I saw a difference in the way they played, that might be one of the reasons why they failed this season, because they had lost their extraordinary way of playing last season.
Napoli are very down and they have absolutely nothing to hope for. This season is over and now is the time for management to move quickly to restore their performance to last season. Actually, they don't have to defend the title, because that is very difficult, but at least they can show very tight competition at the top of the standings, not what they have shown this season.
