Napoli's crisis has intensified, with their points numbers looking closer to a failure than a competitive season. After the 2-0 defeat against Juventus, the Italian team finds itself on 14 points after ten matches, far from the top and nine points from the Champions League zone. But the most disturbing analysis is Massimiliano Allegri's performance in the last twenty Serie A games, both at Milan and Napoli, which was reduced to just 24 points, i.e. an average of 1.20 points per game.
The balance sheet includes the last ten days of the last championship in which Allegri led Milan and the first ten of this season at Napoli. In the final period with the Rossoneri, the coach lost the advantage he had accumulated in the race for the Champions League, finishing in fifth place and being sacked. In Naples, however, the situation has not improved: the team has already fallen 14 points from the top, with an average of 1.20 points per game which, projected over an entire championship, would have led to around 46 points, well below the objectives of the teams entrusted to him.
These numbers highlight a crisis that crosses two different experiences but with a common result: Allegri, known for his ability to obtain results, is now doing more "paradox" than success. By changing clubs, players and context, the coach has not managed to maintain his reputation as a "resultist". The average of 1.20 points per game, if projected over a complete championship, underlines the difficulty of achieving the set objectives.
The paradox is evident: a technician historically associated with the primacy of results now finds himself having to answer for results. The numbers between the end at Milan and the beginning of the Neapolitan adventure show a crisis that can no longer be considered only episodic. With the season still underway, Napoli's management will have to decide whether to continue to trust Allegri or seek a change that can reverse the negative spiral. The team's future and final position in the league table will depend on the decisions made in this crucial phase of the championship.
