Torino, Baroni still a bogeyman for Conte: unbeaten in head-to-heads | OneFootball

Napoli falls in Turin and brings their tally of defeats to 2 in the first 7 league matches. For Antonio Conte, in addition to the misstep away from home, there is also another setback against Marco Baroni, who once again proves to be a real “bogeyman.”

Napoli, Baroni the bogeyman for Conte: the record

In the last four encounters between the two coaches, who as players shared the Lecce locker room, the record is all in favor of the Granata coach: three wins and a draw. This streak demonstrates the solidity and organization of Baroni’s teams, capable of stifling even a Napoli side that appeared lacking in clarity and brilliance. Already last season, when Baroni was on the Lazio bench, the Azzurri struggled against him: a 1-0 defeat at the Maradona, a 2-2 draw at the Olimpico, and a heavy 3-1 loss in the Coppa Italia, all in Rome. Torino’s victory, sealed by a goal from former Napoli player Giovanni Simeone, thus extends Baroni’s favorable tradition against Conte, who will have to wait even longer to break the taboo of his former teammate.
