Napoli coach Conte recently talked about the goals for the new season in an interview and called on the team to remain humble in their goal of defending the title.

In the 2022/23 Serie A season, Napoli won the championship with outstanding performance. However, in the 2023/24 season, Napoli ranked 10th and failed to qualify for the European Championship. In the 2024/25 season, despite facing strong competition from major opponents, Napoli overcame various challenges under the leadership of coach Conte and finally won the championship.

In addition, Napoli will travel to challenge Sassuolo in the first round of the new Serie A season and start a journey to defend the title.

Napoli coach Conte said, "When the championship logo is printed on the jersey, it will be regarded as one of the favorites to win the championship, and we can't retreat or hide out of fear. We have been working hard to shape this team, and the coming season will be full of challenges."

"We must not forget what happened in the past few years and we must learn lessons from the negative events. The past two years must be a lesson, and we must focus on the court and not have unrealistic fantasies. We will be very humble."

In addition, the 34-year-old former Manchester City star De Bruyne officially joined Napoli earlier.

Conte said, "He came here to accept new challenges. This is a brand new environment for him. He has reached a very high position in his career, but he can contribute more to football."
