After winning Scudettos with two different teams – Juventus and Inter Milan – Antonio Conte is close to grabbing another Serie A trophy with Napoli. However, his former club, the Nerazzurri, stand in his way, topping the Italian top-tier table with three points in front of the Neapolitans.And while his crew prepares for another decisive clash against the last-placed Monza (19.00), the tactician sent a powerful message to his current club, which many interpreted as a possible exit announcement after only eight months at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.##EDITORS_CHOICE##”A lot of things were said at the beginning of the year. I can confirm some, but not others. I won’t deny anything, but I don’t feel comfortable confirming everything I said. The matter with Kvara was clear. I said Napoli shouldn’t just be a stepping stone, and I don’t want to seem like a liar about things that didn’t happen. In these eight months in Naples, I’ve understood that many things just can’t be done,” Conte stated, speaking to Tutto Napoli via Football Italia.🎙️Conte: “I said a lot early on—some still stands, some doesn’t. I don’t take anything back, but you learn. Like with Kvara—I said Napoli shouldn’t be a stepping stone. I’ve realized in 8 months that many things here just aren’t possible.” pic.twitter.com/idT4wnocRU— Napoli Zone (@TheNapoliZone) April 18, 2025 Troubles in paradise or just a minor setback – time will tell.While Napoli continue the title battle, Roma will try to extend their 16-game unbeaten Serie A streak tonight against Hellas Verona (21.45) at Stadio Olimpico.Thanks to that outstanding run, Claudio Ranieri’s crew is only five points behind the fourth spot, which will lead to the Champions League next season. If the Wolfess justifies its status as favourite today and brushes aside the Gialloblu, its European chances will be further increased ahead of the final five rounds.SERIE A – MATCHDAY 33SaturdayLecce – Como 0-0 IN PROGRESS19:00: (12.0) Monza (5.60) Napoli (1.27)21:45: (1.42) Roma (4.30) Verona (8.50)Sunday16:00: (2.35) Empoli (3.20) Venezia (3.20)19:00: (3.30) Bologna (3.35) Inter (2.35)21:45: (2.55) Milan (3.35) Atalanta (2.75)Monday13:30: (2.40) Torino (2.95) Udinese (3.45)16:00: (3.00) Cagliari (3.15) Fiorentina (2.50)19:00: (3.45) Genoa (3.25) Lazio (2.35)21:45: (5.10) Parma (3.60) Juventus (1.80)***odds are subject to change***
