Napoli manager Antonio Conte expressed regret over his suspension for the final match of the Serie A season against Cagliari, which could decide the title in favour of his team. 

Conte was sent off in the goalless draw against Parma and will miss the final match of the season, where Napoli faces Cagliari at home while Inter Milan takes on Como.

Conte emphasised the importance of the match, stating that Napoli has a chance to make history and bring joy to the fans. He urged his team to respect their opponents and play their game to increase their chances of winning. Despite his absence, Conte expressed confidence in his staff and the team’s ability to perform under pressure.

“We have our teeth into it, and we mustn’t let go,” Conte said, highlighting the team’s determination to secure the title. A Napoli win would mark a historic moment for Conte, who would become the first coach to win Serie A with three different teams, having previously won titles with Juventus and Inter Milan.

Conte’s absence will be felt, but his message to the team and fans is clear: stay focused and give it their all to achieve a special moment for the club.
