Tomorrow evening, Napoli will make their Champions League debut at the Etihad Stadium against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, and behind the sporting clash lies an interesting statistic. Antonio Conte, in fact, will be leading the fifth different team in his European career: after Juventus, Chelsea, Inter, and Tottenham, it is now the turn of the Neapolitan club.

Napoli, Conte enters the history of European competition

This is a significant achievement: among Italian coaches, only Carlo Ancelotti (eight clubs) and Claudio Ranieri (six clubs) have appeared in the Champions League with more teams. Conte thus joins a select group of managers capable of adapting to different environments, confirming his international versatility. Now the goal will be to test Napoli’s ambitions on a prestigious stage and against one of the strongest teams in Europe. Tomorrow, all eyes will be on the pitch, but the statistic also highlights the exceptional journey of the coach from Apulia. It’s not just about experience, but about adaptability to different teams, leagues, and styles of play.
