200,000 for Napoli's Scudetto celebration, a huge crowd for the fourth title in the club's history, won on Friday by beating Cagliari 2-0 on the last matchday . The parade started around 3:00 PM today, with the arrival of a boat carrying the team. An infinite number of fans were present at Molo Luise and along the entire seafront to welcome them, with the program continuing on two open-top buses that allowed the Neapolitan people to pay homage to the Azzurri. The vehicles had to proceed at a walking pace, given that thousands of Napoli supporters managed to enter what was supposed to be a protected area.
"I connected with him on video, they are a fantastic family. But there is no news until it is black on white", said Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis to Rai Sport on the increasingly likely hiring of Kevin De Bruyne. He did not clarify on Antonio Conte's permanence: " The coaches have a contract, if they want to stay we are very happy to continue this wonderful journey with them . The fans must rest assured: in the future there will always be a Napoli with the ability to have its say".
Conte himself, again on Rai Sport, amid rumors that he will return to Juventus, does not want to talk about his future : "This is a wonderful place, that gives a lot and asks a lot. We gave them everything we had. It's always nice to win, we work to give these days and these satisfactions. Celebrating the Scudetto in Naples is something extraordinary. This enthusiasm and passion is something that you can hardly find everywhere. Honor to Inter, we beat a great team that can win the Champions League."
Gabriele Oriali, who has been following Conte for years, also sent a message of “hope” for the confirmation of the coach: «I hope we can continue in Naples, one of the best experiences of my career» . And also Romelu Lukaku: «I will do everything to make him stay, he is like a father to me». Almost at the same time, this afternoon Napoli received a fine for smoke bombs and firecrackers thrown on the pitch against Cagliari .
