Napoli manager Antonio Conte began his tenure at the Serie A club with a humiliating defeat against Verona and tore into his players after going bottom of the table
Antonio Conte's Napoli tenure got off to a nightmare start and the former Chelsea and Tottenham boss laid the blame at the feet of his players.
Dailon Livramento put the hosts in front with a debut goal, while Daniel Mosquera bagged two after making his bow from the bench. After the hammering, Conte didn't mince his words. “I humbly apologise because the second half was unacceptable. A performance that shows we need to work hard in every aspect. I came to Napoli with lots of enthusiasm, with great desire. If I can help Napoli, I will."Napoli were dealt a blow just before half-time when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was forced off injured. The club were already expected to make signings even before the setback, though Conte has suggested as many as four new faces could arrive.
