In Naples, they can't wait for the new season to start. Although the new (and beautiful) jersey no longer features the coveted league title sewn on the chest after thirty-three years, the arrival of Antonio Conte on their bench has the city buzzing with excitement. The signing of key figures like Oriali and Manna further strengthens the confidence in De Laurentiis' team.
Supported by technical guidance, Manna has already brought Conte two new signings during the training camp in Trentino: Spinazzola from Roma, seeking continuity, and Rafa Marin, a talent from Real Madrid's youth academy. Alessandro Buongiorno, from Torino, has also been acquired, perhaps the true coup of this early Italian transfer market.
Napoli's season begins in a few weeks: the first official match will be in the Coppa Italia against Modena, at the Maradona Stadium in Fuorigrotta. Then the championship. They're heading to Bentegodi Stadium in Verona: the same opening as the championship year. At home against Bologna a week later, and again at home at the end of August against newly promoted Parma.

Then, an island trip to Cagliari in mid-September after the international break, and then another away game against Juventus, which will be the first highly anticipated clash. On September 29, Nesta's Monza will be hosted in Naples, followed by Fabregas' dream team Como in early October. After Empoli at Castellani and Lecce at home, there will be an important stretch: away to Milan, at home against Atalanta, then away to Inter in Milan, and fifteen days later, the Derby del Sole against Roma on November 24.
In December, there are five matches: Torino in Piedmont, then Baroni's Lazio at home, Udinese at Friuli, Genoa at Ferraris, and the last game of 2024 will be against Venezia at Fuorigrotta. The first half of the season concludes with an away game in Florence the day before Epiphany.
