Lack Of Internal Harmony Caused My Napoli Exit – Conte

Napoli manager Antonio Conte has officially confirmed his departure from the club. This brings an end to his high-octane two-year tenure at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, and fans have been reacting.

Citing a lack of internal harmony as the primary reason for his exit, Conte revealed that his decision to step down was made a month ago.

The Italian manager added that the environment surrounding the club simply became increasingly difficult to manage.

His words, “On Napoli I failed in one thing: I wasn’t able to bring compactness to Napoli and if you don’t manage to do it, it becomes difficult to fight against other teams. I’ve seen a lot of poison and those who spread it are failures. Napoli doesn’t need failures, those who need a like.

It needs serious people who want to love the team, just like the fan who pays for the ticket, instead these people should stay away because they are harmful. I failed from this point of view and I understood that I would never be able to compact the environment. For me it was fundamental, so I raised my hands.

After Bologna, what I felt were situations that I didn’t like and even there it takes balls to say things. I have never played anonymous seasons and I never will. I was also ready to step aside, certainly some signings didn’t get in tune with the old group and very difficult dynamics were created that were right to report.

I called the president a month ago, I didn’t want to know anything and I told him ‘by virtue of the friendship we have, I perceive that my journey here is about to end’. The decision was taken by me.

There’s zero between me and Italian Federation to become Italy head coach. Zero so far. Let’s see in future. There’s not even the Federation president yet… but let me say. Are Italy ready to appoint a top coach? I read about Pep Guardiola. Should I suggest a name, I’d say Pep. But… do they have the funds to make it happen? It’s too early to say. I have zero agreements so far.”

WOW.
