Napoli’s troubles deepened after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Torino, with disgruntled fans even launching flares onto the pitch in protest.
The team, currently in ninth place, seems a far cry from their title-winning form last season. Sporting director Mauro Meluso publicly apologized to fans for the team’s performance and emphasized the club’s commitment to supporting coach Walter Mazzarri, who was suspended for the match.
The team’s decline is stark, with the absence of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen particularly felt as they failed to score for the fourth consecutive match. The gap between Napoli and league leaders Inter Milan has widened to 20 points, painting a bleak picture for the former champions.
Debutant Pasquale Mazzocchi’s red card in the 50th minute further exacerbated Napoli’s woes, ultimately leading to Torino’s dominant victory.
