When Spalletti was the coach of Napoli they were able to play the whole season consistently, but this time they have a lot of draws, their attack looks weaker, they brought in Lukaku, but lost Osimhen and Kvaratskheli. I think that Conte made a mistake here if he thought he could cope without two such important forwards. When Osimhen left I assumed that there was nothing serious in it, but when they also let Kvaratskheli go I assumed that it would turn out to be a problem for Conte and I was right.
Spalletti won the Italian Serie A when Victor Osimhen and Kvicha Kvaratskhelia were at the the club and performing at the top of their games but when the question is after Spalletti left Napoli, what happened to the club? They had one of the worst title defense last season before Antonio Conte was appointed as the club manager last summer. Victor Osimhen was already having issues with the club before Conte was signed and the issue escalated from the player and the club to the player and the manager which led to the player's departure. Kvicha Kvaratskhelia on the other hand was allowed to leave the club because of the outrageous amount of money PSG offered. Without both world class players Antonio Conte is just three points behind league leaders Inter Milan so I expect us to praise him instead of expecting more from him
