Soccer Football - Serie A - Napoli v Bologna - Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Naples, Italy - August 25, 2024 Napoli coach Antonio Conte reacts REUTERS/Ciro De Luca/ File PhotoNapoli coach Antonio Conte was happy with his side's 2-1 home comeback win over Parma on Saturday but said he prayed for his players' fitness amid squad changes as the transfer window closed hours before the third matchday of Serie A.
The former Chelsea boss, however, was concerned about not having a squad depth and dealing with last-minute changes to his team as the transfer window closed on Friday. "Coaches have to train players who are going to leave and wait for players we've never worked with and don't know in what condition they'll be when they arrive.
"We did not just bring in players to build on an existing team, but to fill certain empty slots, and I am happy with the work done by the club," he said.
