Antonio Conte spoke about Napoli's goals for next season

New Napoli head coach Antonio Conte held his inaugural press conference as the team's manager.

The specialist discussed the team's goals for the upcoming season and gave an interim assessment of the transfer campaign.

"There is a big gap between us and the champion, Inter. Additionally, a symbolic player like Zielinski has left and strengthened Inter, who finished 41 points ahead of us. We don't know how our transfer window will end. If I were a bookmaker, I would think differently. But these details do not scare me.

If the media want to put pressure on us, that's not a problem; I accept it. We'll give them something to talk about. We talk little and focus on our goals after an absurd, unjustified, and failed season. We have responsibilities to improve and bring trophies back to Naples. These are realistic tasks.

Newcomers? Rafa Marin has a lot of potential; he's a young player, and the same goes for Buongiorno. Young promising players can become our support for many years. We are also thinking about improving in the present, and there was an excellent opportunity with Spinazzola, and we took it. We are approaching the market in the right way, as Napoli should," said Conte.

The first summer signing of the Neapolitan club was the transfer of Torino and Italy national team defender Alessandro Buongiorno.
