Malen is back to torture Napoli

Massimiliano Allegri and Gian Piero Gasperini find themselves in diametrically opposite positions. Allegri has failed to win the hearts of Napoli fans, while Gasperini has become an idol to Roma’s supporters. In addition to poor results, the former Juventus and Milan coach is being criticised for the style of football Napoli are playing. Meanwhile, the architect of the phenomenon known as Atalanta has adapted to the atmosphere at Trigoria in no time and given the Roman club a recognisable identity. Napoli’s head coach survived the Champions League match against Bodo/Glimt, but he has not entirely escaped the threat of having his position called into question, as Napoli face two more tough tests before the November international break: away to Juventus in Turin and against an in-form Lazio at the Maradona.
