6 Nov
Summary
- Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis is in crisis talks with staff and players.
- The team has lost seven of their first 14 matches this season.
- Internal divisions and player accountability issues plague the squad.
Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has initiated crisis talks at the team's training ground. This intervention follows a dire run of form that has seen the team lose seven of their initial 14 matches in the 2026-27 season. The latest defeat was a 4-1 hammering against Porto in the Champions League.
Head coach Massimiliano Allegri is facing immense pressure, with Napoli currently eighth in Serie A, 14 points behind the leaders after just 10 games. Their Champions League campaign is also in jeopardy, sitting 27th in the standings and at risk of missing the knockout stages.
Compounding the on-field struggles, player Matteo Politano has highlighted a fractured dressing room. Accusations of a lack of accountability among senior players and visible altercations between teammates have been reported, painting a picture of a divided squad.
Napoli's next fixture is a challenging home game against Serie A leaders Lazio, who have a perfect away record this season. The squad will remain together at the training ground until Sunday's crucial match.
