27 points behind the top of the table! The reigning Serie A champions have announced three changes to their manager in seven months
On February 20 this year, the Italian superteam Napoli officially announced the resignation of Mazzari, and the new coach of the Napoli club will be the head coach of the Slovak national team, Karzona, who will be the new coach of Napoli and Slovakia (until the end of the season). Karzona used to be an assistant coach at Napoli and now he's back with De Laurentiis! The head coach of the league officially announced: 3 players will be replaced in 7 months, and Barcelona will laugh at the big squad.
Napoli were the worst of the five main champions last season. The top spot in the French league remains top, with 13 points more than second-placed Brest. Manchester City at the top of the league table are third in the league, four points behind leaders Liverpool, but one game behind them. In addition, Barcelona at the top of the Spanish league table is third in the league with eight points of difference, a gap between Real Madrid at the top of the table. Currently, the top of the German league is Bayern Munich, who are in second place in the league table with eight points apart, while Bayer Leverkusen are eight points away from topping.
Let's take Naples as an example. In the last 24 rounds of the league, Napoli are ninth in the league with 10-6-6-8- with 36 points. Italy's top seed Inter Milan are currently top of the table with 63 points, while Napoli came close to missing out on the league title. Atalanta are fourth in the table with 45 points, and Napoli can't even get to the last four, let alone win the league title.
Napoli had 28 wins, six draws and four defeats last season, which was a very bad result, and they have been very poor this season. The departure of Napoli championship coach Luciano Spalletti was a heavy blow to Spalletti, and the reason why he chose to leave was because he was not taken seriously by the club. Spalletti wanted a higher salary, but was rejected by Napoli, and after Napoli won the title, the two broke up.
Napoli have been in a downward spiral since Spalletti's departure, and they have been very low in Italy this season. Spalletti led Napoli to a 645% win. Napoli changed their manager for the first time in July this year, when Napoli manager was Garcia, and his team only had a 50% chance of winning; Napoli made a second substitution in November, when Mazzarri took charge of Napoli with a record of just 352%；Today, Naples has taken on a new twist again.
This season, Napoli have fallen into a chaotic, uncompetitive phase with their team teetering in the first division. The successive changes in the team's coaching staff have benefited Champions League rivals Barcelona. Given Napoli's current form, Barcelona have more chances to progress to the next round and could well double Napoli's tally of goals in eight games in the Champions League.
