Italy's Serie A is notorious for its volatile managerial situation, with coaches coming and going faster than you can say, "Congratulazioni, capocannoniere!" But this current managerial crisis, exacerbated by the high-stakes Scudetto race, has reached new levels of absurdity. Just as the title race enters its final straight, both Napoli and Inter have lost their managers, and the futures of the coaches of these two title contenders are uncertain.
Napoli, who are currently second in the table, axed their manager, Luciano Spalletti, after their stunning 1-2 defeat to Atalanta over the weekend. This came after Spalletti recently criticized his players after a defeat to Empoli, calling them "soft."
Meanwhile, Inter coach Simone Inzaghi also saw red, but not in a good way. During Inter's 1-1 draw with Verona, Inzaghi was sent off for dissent, and he'll now serve a one-game touchline ban. But that's not all: following this result, which left Inter trailing Napoli by three points, Inzaghi has now been dumped from his role ahead of the crucial Scudetto showdown.
With just six games left to go after this upcoming weekend, Napoli and Inter will now face each other without the familiar faces of Spalletti and Inzaghi on the sidelines. Who would have thought that would happen when the season started? As the race for the Scudetto heats up, it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious on the field - and who will survive the chopping block off it.
