Napoli sporting director shuts down talk of Antonio Conte’s resignation

Napoli Sporting Director Giovanni Manna has dismissed suggestions that coach Antonio Conte was considering resignation, stating the recent media frenzy surrounding the team was exaggerated, as reported by TuttoMercatoWeb citing his comments to Sky Sport.

Speaking before the match against Atalanta, Manna acknowledged the high volume of discussion around the club but insisted the core situation was calm.

“There was a lot and too much emphasis,” Manna said regarding the media coverage. He acknowledged the difficult moments but downplayed the crisis talk, adding: “Many things have been sensationalized, but that’s fine. Comparisons are natural, they exist even when you win.”
