Key Takeaways
- Napoli’s goalless draw with Como leaves them with a maximum possible tally of 79 points this season.
- This would mark Antonio Conte’s lowest return in a complete Serie A campaign during his managerial career.
- His only poorer record came at Atalanta in 2009-10, when he took charge for just 13 matches.
Antonio Conte is heading towards his lowest points total ever in a complete Serie A season. The Napoli manager will finish with fewer than 80 points for the first time in a full campaign.
The Partenopei dropped points again on Sunday evening. They played a goalless draw against Como at home. This result leaves them with 70 points on the board. Only three matches remain in the current season.
Mathematically, Napoli can reach 79 points at best. This figure falls below Conte’s previous worst finish over an entire league season.
The Italian coach achieved higher totals during his time at Juventus. He recorded 102 points in the 2013-14 season. He also gained 87 and 84 points in other campaigns with the Bianconeri.
During his spell at Inter Milan, Conte collected 82 points in 2019-20. He improved to 91 points the following year. That total secured the Scudetto for the Nerazzurri.
The only time Conte finished with fewer points was at Atalanta. However, that occurred during the 2009-10 season. He only managed 13 matches there rather than a full term.
Last year, Napoli won the title with 82 points. They beat Inter by a single point after 38 matches.
