• 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.
