"There is only shame". Conte reacts harshly to debut defeat

Yesterday, Napoli played their first match under new head coach Antonio Conte, suffering a heavy 0-3 defeat against Verona.

After the game, Conte apologized to the fans and urged his players to respond strongly.

There is only shame. I am ashamed as a coach. A thing like this has rarely happened to me, both as a player and as a coach.Today my heart is bleeding. Let's see if anyone else is bleeding in the next few days.", Conte stated.

Before joining Napoli, Conte had been out of work for over a year, with Tottenham being his last club.

It’s worth noting that Napoli finished last season in a disappointing tenth place in Serie A, despite winning the Scudetto in the 2022/23 season.

In the next round, Napoli will face Bologna at home.
