Angry Conte aims dig at Spalletti: ‘He has to be more careful when he speaks’

Antonio Conte has not taken too kindly to a comment made by Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti, describing Napoli as the ‘former champions of Italy’ rather than simply ‘the champions of Italy’ after Juventus’s 3-0 victory over the Partenopei in Serie A: ‘He has to be a little more careful when he speaks’. 

What Spalletti said to annoy Conte

Conte and Napoli are on an uncharacteristically poor run of form in the early stages of 2026 with just one win to their name from their last six matches across all competitions.
