Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[arimamib]

I understand that many are disappointed with Napoli's performance after changing coaching after Spalletti left. But I think Spalletti probably left because he predicted that Napoli might not win the title again this season. Because several important Napoli players have left. For example, last season Napoli's defense was strong because there was a strong defender like Kim Min Jae. And just one point in the club experiencing weakness can have a big impact on the squad itself. Rudi Garcia just came at the wrong time. Because I personally can't blame Rudi Garcia completely. Last season Rudi Garcia failed to bring Al-Nassr to win the SPL title. But that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just that I also admit that Rudi Garcia doesn't seem to fit into the Napoli squad. I actually also hope that there is a coach like Jose Mourinho who can coach Napoli. But I personally still don't want a change of coach. Because I think it's too early.

Some, on the contrary, believe that it would be too late later. However, I also think it's too early to think about changing the head coach of the team. Although if the results remain at such an unstable level, then I think de Laurentiis will still change the head coach. I myself was extremely surprised when a specialist of this rank was invited to the main post of the Italian champion team, but they could not find a more authoritative specialist. By the way, it would be rather rash to expect that a new coach would immediately come to a new team and immediately send it away from all competitors. Therefore, nevertheless, the fans of the club and the management would like to advise to be patient and give time for lapping.

Rudi Garcia still has the opportunity to continue as Napoli coach if he is able to improve his performance in the upcoming matches. Rudi Garcia's fate depends on the results obtained by Napoli in the upcoming match because if Rudi Garcia can deliver victory in Serie A and the Champions League, of course he will be given the opportunity by the Napoli owner to remain as Napoli coach.

Some speculation quickly intensified because management had contacted Antonio Conte to become Napoli's coach this season. In my opinion, Rudi Garcia must be given time and the fans must also give him support to be able to win again for Napoli.

Napoli in the coming week has a busy schedule. So it will be quite exciting to see Rudi Garcia's development next week.

I would guess that the player changes had something to do with it as well. Kim Min-Jae was the core of their defense and him leaving definitely put a dent there, and while they made some transfers, they didn't get anyone that good for their defense, I do not know whose idea it was to sell a player at defense and not use that money to get a defensive player, but the only player they got at defense was Nathan, which talks about it himself.

So all in all, while coaching change definitely played a big role, I think losing a good defender and not replacing him made the team get goals a lot easier and they concede a lot quicker. This should be the most important thing and definitely not an easy to thing to handle for a club that wants to be champions. It's a fun league though, you get to see plenty of different teams go for the title, back in the day it was purely just Juventus, nowadays it's not like that anymore and this made it more fun, at least we could say their games are not boring.

Several players last season who left for other clubs also had an impact on Napoli experiencing unstable conditions this season, but the change of coach was a much bigger factor which caused Napoli not to appear strong this season. Kim Min-Jae is one of the important pillars in the defense that Spalletti trusts and his defensive abilities were tested quite a bit last season before leaving. The idea of selling Kim Min-Jae was driven by the high interest of other clubs in him and the market price was also quite attractive to Napoli's management but unfortunately they were not looking for an ideal replacement for this position after Kim Min-Jae left.

Rudi Garcia's condition is very unsafe now, both in the Champions League and in Serie A because they are almost out of competition. If he is not able to provide victory in the next few important matches then we will hear the potential for dismissal from the mouths of Napoli fans. The defending champion will find it much more difficult to maintain their best performance after a change of coach and in my opinion this effect is quite large.

Napoli is a competitive club, but this season, they're clearly struggling to win games, it's normal but they lack the basis of of good formation, the new boss is yet to show working, what has he done with the present squad so far. If Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis is unsatisfied with his team results, the thought of needing a new coach, ofcourse it won't take him 24hours before appointing a new prominent coach for Napoli. Rudi Garcia is been given an estimated period to bounce back to winning form, if not the next thing that would be on his desk is his sack letter.

[harapan]

I share the same plight as yours. Napoli need to realize that they are becoming bigger by the day and so, the expectations of the fans and the general public is increasing on them, so should their demand increase.
I support the opinion that suggest that they should change their manager and they need someone with more experience to manage and oversee the team. What if they go for Jose Mourinho, won't he put up some surprises? Lol...

On a more serious note, they should try and get the likes of Roberto Baggio to come and coach them for this season and see how better they can get as a club. The likes of Osimhen need to be encouraged by the management and get the squad depth to support the first XI they have.

Only Conte is currently linked with Napoli. Because Napoli management contacted Conte to persuade him to accept the offer to coach Napoli this season. Conte is certainly not a new coach in Serie A because he is quite experienced with the Serie A atmosphere because he has coached many Serie A teams in previous years.

If you link Jose Mourinho I'm sure he won't leave Roma to become Napoli coach. Because Mourinho has a target that he has not yet achieved with Roma, namely bringing Roma to finish in the top 4 and bringing Roma back to the Champions League.
Napoli could be lucky if they get another coach after the international break because Rudi Garcia seems to have failed to make his team play well with his game scheme.

He has not just coached many Italian sides but has won games and trophies for different club Juventus and Inter Milan are the both I can talk about he had a nice success in these clubs and the fans never had issues with his decisions.
Jose Mourinho leaving Roma is sacrilege he is heading nowhere all he needs that club to do for him is to get quality players that meets up with his standard.
Napoli will need to make quick reactions otherwise losing those important players will happen and that will crumble the club.

[Litzki1990]

Though Rudi Garcia has been unable to replicate the same feat his predecessor achieved last season, I think it'll be too early to show him the exit door from the being Napoli's manager. The French professional football manager took over the managerial role at Napoli after the club's former manager Luciano Spalletti left the club few days after winning the Italian Serie A title for the club. Rudi Garcia I think isn't a terrible manager and deserves to be given more time at the club to prove himself.
The new season is just past three months and there's every possiblity that Garcia's Napoli might come back to winning ways again.

Rudi Garcia has had quite a lot of time since the start of the season, many matches have been played and Rudi Garcia should also have gained insight from several of these matches to find the right way to improve the performance of Napoli players.
I respect your opinion but for me it seems like Rudi Garcia is a little unsuitable at Napoli but I will wait for the final results of this season and see if the coach is able to give Napoli a title.

Napoli then finally blamed the current manager for the team's poor performance and the current manager may be fired from Napoli very soon. If Antonio Conte takes charge of Napoli again, it will be a challenge for him because this team is not in their best rhythm right now, so some strategies and changes in plans will be required to get this team back to winning ways. Napoli management must trust the manager as well as give the manager time to prove himself well. If the team management trusts the manager even after the bad times, I think the players will be able to get the maximum strategy from at least one manager at that time. Antonio Conte takes charge of Nepal and the management needs to give him time and trust him.

I think that napoli will have another candidate to come soon. Just because napoli being rejected by conte and it doesn't even mean if napoli will have no other candidate than him. I think that if napoli may also give us a surprise name to be the strongest candidate to replace garcia.
Napoli is not willing to let garcia to stay even longer in the club. I think that jose mourinho will not be leaving from roma to the napoli. I have heard that if mourinho has offered himself to coaching the saudi pro league club.
The chance for him to go to the saudi pro league club is very big right now. I think that napoli is not possible to get his signature.

Is there any certainty that Antonio Conte will coach Napoli? because I haven't found the news because what is circulating is just rumors, there are even rumors that Antonio Conte is not interested in immediately continuing his career as a coach so there is no chance for Napoli to be coached by Conte in the near future unless there is a change, for example Napoli makes a very attractive offer such as the funds provided for player spending are also often the reason coaches are interested in coaching at the club, so it's not just about the salary they get but the ease of using money in the transfer market.
Of the eight matches, only being able to win 4 matches is not an impressive performance for the defending champion team because the pressure to defend the title is quite strong, but Rudi Garcia is not a successful coach so Napoli should have realized this from the start of his appointment that Napoli could fail to defend the title because they have a coach who is not smart enough in strategy.

I would say that Napoli were competitive last year, now with the actions perpetrated by the club they are reduced to a mid-table team
I don't think he'll even get to the Champions League area if he continues like this

I'm sorry, but I see this, and I'm usually not wrong

If Napoli does not immediately improve the performance of their squad then of course Napoli will definitely have difficulty getting tickets to the next Champions League. Fiorentina could even beat Napoli with a fairly convincing score. Rudi Garcia as Napoli coach must be feeling pressured at the moment. Because after all, all Napoli fans are definitely not satisfied with the performance displayed by Napoli at the start of this season. So if Rudi Garcia wants to maintain his position as coach at Napoli then he must immediately make good improvements at the Club. But I personally also doubt this.

I don't think he can do much at the moment as there are no great coaches available. Unfortunately, you pay for the mistakes you make, and you pay dearly for them.
The argument with Spalletti, the bad treatment of Victor, their best striker. I don't think it was a great strategy.

You're right. Do you remember the conflict that reportedly occurred between Spalletti and the Napoli club owner? I remember it vaguely. But it seems like at that time Spalletti felt underappreciated or something. So he left. Even though he had reasons for taking a break, it was still a sudden decision.

In fact, if the owner of the Napoli club can retain Spalletti more then I am sure that Napoli will at least still have a performance that is not much different from last season.

Spalletti actually built the Napoli squad from a pretty bad position at the start of last season. Because Napoli just lost Kalidou Koulibaly, Fabian Ruiz, Dries Mertens and Lorenzo Insigne. They are Napoli's mainstay players. But Spalletti seemed to have achieved a miracle because with the remaining squad he was able to maximize Napoli's squad to remain great.

And I was actually a little surprised when the replacement coach was Rudi Garcia. Even though the most widely reported news about a strong candidate to replace Spalletti is Luis Enrique. But it seems that Luis Enrique is not interested.

But it seems that now Spalletti is more comfortable in his position as coach of the Italian national team. And apparently the break was only short.

I actually feel that Napoli should find a replacement for Garcia as soon as possible, even when coaching Al Nassr, he was unable to produce good results. Even if we compare it with Roma or Lazio's performance, Napoli can still be said to be in good form, Serie A has only been running for 8 matches and there are 30 more matches left in the future, there's no harm in Napoli looking for a replacement for Garcia because it's not even half season done yet. Antonio Conte did not escape speculation that he would become the new coach for Napoli, but he immediately dismissed that and said that for the time being he would focus on his family.

Napoli performance has worsened since this problem and it is very likely that if this problem is not resolved immediately it will have a bad impact in the future for the Napoli club, especially since their flagship striker already feels uncomfortable at Napoli. If it weren't for the contract, Victor Oshimen might have left Napoli long ago.
Even so, Victor Oshimen still makes a good contribution to Napoli, it's just that Napoli's players don't build enough chemistry and it's difficult to establish good cooperation between players because so far Napoli still relies on Victor Oshimen to score goals for the club.

If neither Spalletti nor Oshimen give in or continue to prolong this problem, it is certain that Napoli will find it difficult to win the Serie A league title this season like last season.

[Litzki1990]

I don't think if Napoli has any financial problems and I think this team but stable financial situation and they had enough money to hire better coaches instead of using a coach like Rudi Garcia.
If I'm not wrong Rudi Garcia's last experience was in Arabian teams when he got fired because of the bad performance he had there, That's why he couldn't be a good option for Napoli to take the place of Luciano Spalletti for them.

I share the same plight as yours. Napoli need to realize that they are becoming bigger by the day and so, the expectations of the fans and the general public is increasing on them, so should their demand increase.

On a more serious note, they should try and get the likes of Roberto Baggio to come and coach them for this season and see how better they can get as a club. The likes of Osimhen need to be encouraged by the management and get the squad depth to support the first XI they have.

As a club's performance improves, the club's following will increase, and as the club's performance improves, supporters will expect better performances from the club. Napoli have improved their performances in the past few seasons which is why fans are now expecting big things from this club. Napoli have disappointed the fans so far this season as fans expect big things. They should have started the new season well but they did not start well this season. To catch the point gap of their team from the number one team in the points table is a lot and they have to go through many challenges to recover this point gap. 

Osimhen is a great player but he may not be getting the right support from the club which is why he looks a little disappointed in every match. Being mentally strong is very important for every player which is not in Osimhen at the moment, if he can be encouraged he will surely do well which is good for the team.

[Altryist]

The argument with Spalletti, the bad treatment of Victor, their best striker. I don't think it was a great strategy.

Napoli's leadership has always been arrogant, which is why they lost Spalletti. Now the relationship with Osimhen is damaged, and it seems that he is very angry, I am almost sure that he will leave the club this off-season, and perhaps he now regrets that he did not do this in the summer. After such conflicts, there will always be a tense situation in the team, and this will certainly deprive Napoli of all chances to count on the Scudetto, and it is not yet clear how this conflict with Osimhen will end.

[rendravolt]

After Paul Pogba had problems due to positive doping use, now another Juventus player, Nicolo Fagioli, is facing a new problem regarding betting reasons. Nicolo Fagioli is currently under investigation by the Turin prosecutor's office for betting on illegal platforms. I think there is no end to the problems faced by Juventus players and the future of this club from Turin is increasingly unclear. Maybe more cases will be revealed in the future and we can't stop thinking about the behavior of these players when everything is going well for the club's performance but it is not accompanied by the attitude of the players. It is even reported that Nicolo Fagioli will receive a ban of up to 3 years if found guilty.

Yes indeed, at least there is still plenty of time if Napoli changes coach now, then the new coach they recruit later will at least still have a good plan and time throughout this season. After all, Napoli current position still allows them to compete well and strongly in the top four, so replacing Garcia at this moment could be the right time. Because yes, it seems like it would be useless if Napoli still kept Garcia, because this might make Napoli get bad results again and make their position in the standings worse over time.

But why does it always come from the Juventus club. I feel concerned about this club and all the players in it. Even if this continues every season, it is not surprising that one day people will start to get used to it and will ignore the problems that arise from the Juventus club and its players. This situation reminds me of the Manchester United club in the Premier League which also experienced several problems regarding the players the club owned.

I hope Juventus' performance is not disturbed by all these things. Because I want to see Juventus play optimally without having to face many problems. When a club's performance declines due to a problem within the club. So I always feel like I can't enjoy their matches.

I don't really see Rudi Garcia as the real problem of Napoli. The club might be going through its own phase of downtime and it is understandable. Many top clubs go through the same period and a clear example is the current state of Chelsea. The French coach has just spent a few months in Naples and should be given some time to see what he can do. It might also be that the club is considering sacking him because of the disaffection between him and some key players of the club. I don't think the coach is uniting the players because of some of his actions that have triggered division in the backroom.  I heard that the club is targeting the former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte to replace the French coach. Conte is a good coach but he also has a record of having misunderstandings with club management and players.

problem currently occurring in Napoli which is the cause of the decline in the team performance is not only the coach but we also have to see how the Napoli players are trying to make the best contribution to their team and for now all I know is that Napoli itself has problem with Osimhen who is Reliable and reliable player in this team, while this problem will certainly greatly affect Osimhen performance, he is not as enthusiastic as last season.

regarding Garcia, maybe I not blame him too much as the cause Napoli declining performance, its just that at the moment Garcia does not seem to be able to find bright spot to build Napoli back to what it used to be and if this all takes time, lets see if at the end of this season Garcia provides strategy the best.
