• Former Napoli player claims Conte’s training methods to blame for injuries crisis

  Club legend Alessandro Renica has sparked controversy by claiming Antonio Conte’s grueling “dry work” training sessions are directly responsible for the muscular injuries currently sidelining several key Napoli stars.

  ​Former Napoli defender Alessandro Renica has attributed the club’s extensive injury list to Antonio Conte’s demanding training regime.

  Speaking on Stile TV, Renica argued that the coach’s physical demands have overwhelmed the squad, leading to frequent muscular setbacks for stars like Kevin De Bruyne and Amir Rrahmani.

  He noted that De Bruyne reportedly “never ran as much” in a decade at Manchester City as he has recently.

  ​While praising Conte’s tactical brilliance, Renica called the trainer’s rigid physical methodology a “genuine limitation” following Napoli’s Champions League group stage exit.

  He warned that excessive training stresses muscles, stating: “I have my coaching badge and have tried both methodologies, but when I worked with heavy dry training I had a lot of muscular problems.”

  With eight players sidelined, Renica believes the season’s potential is being squandered.

• Napoli goalkeeper hits out at referee and VAR: ‘Today’s football is a farce’

  Napoli goalkeeper Nikita Contini has launched a scathing social media attack on modern refereeing and VAR following his team’s 2-1 loss to Atalanta.

  ​Napoli’s Nikita Contini has sparked controversy by labeling modern football a “farce” following a heated 2-1 defeat to Atalanta.

  The Partenopei were left incensed after referee Daniele Chiffi overturned a first-half penalty and disallowed a Rasmus Hojlund goal.

  Contini expressed his nostalgia for a more physical era on Instagram, writing: “How beautiful real football was… Real clashes, real hits, insults, real tackles, real refereeing.”

  ​The defeat leaves Napoli third in Serie A, level with Roma. Contini’s outburst also highlighted frustrations over away fan bans currently affecting several Italian clubs.

  Criticizing the current state of the game and the impact of technology, the goalkeeper added: “What a farce today’s football is. Football is a serious matter; otherwise, we might as well take up dancing.”

• Tottenham appoints Igor Tudor as interim boss amid possible Pochettino return

  Tottenham Hotspur have hired former Juventus defender Igor Tudor as interim manager until the end of the season following the dismissal of Thomas Frank.

  ​Tottenham have reached an agreement with Igor Tudor to serve as interim manager until the end of the season.

  The club turned to the 47-year-old former Croatia international after sacking Thomas Frank following a dismal run of two wins in 17 games.

  Spurs hope Tudor’s appointment will provide an “instant impact” as the North London side sits just five points above the relegation zone.

  ​The short-term deal intentionally leaves the door open for a potential summer reunion with Mauricio Pochettino.

  Tudor faces a daunting start against Arsenal next Sunday while navigating a “huge injury list” including James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski.

  While Tudor could earn the role permanently, the hierarchy is reportedly monitoring long-term candidates like Roberto De Zerbi and Andoni Iraola for the 2026-27 campaign.

• Luciano Spalletti provides updates on Yildiz, Kelly and Conceicao ahead of Lazio clash

  Juventus head coach Luciano Spalletti has celebrated Kenan Yildiz’s new contract through 2030 and confirmed the attacker is fit for Sunday’s clash with Lazio, even as the manager’s own future remains secondary to club results.  

  ​Juventus have secured the long-term future of breakout star Kenan Yildiz, with the 20-year-old signing a contract extension until June 2030.

  Manager Luciano Spalletti described the renewal as a landmark moment for the Bianconeri project, emphasizing the Turkish forward’s growing influence.

  In a boost for the squad, Spalletti confirmed Yildiz has recovered from recent muscle fatigue and is available for Sunday’s high-stakes encounter against Lazio.  

  ​“We all dressed like this because it’s an important day for Juventus’ future,” Spalletti joked during his press conference.

  Addressing his own expiring contract, the veteran tactician insisted that evaluations can wait, stating: “When I’m able to prove it the way Kenan has, then it could become possible.”

  While Yildiz returns, the club remains cautious regarding Francisco Conceicao and Lloyd Kelly, who face late fitness tests.
