'Let's enjoy it,' says head coach Conte as Napoli move top and book CL spot

With four games remaining in the season, Napoli travel to relegation-threatened Lecce on Saturday before facing Genoa, Parma, and Cagliari, all in the bottom half of the table in their final matches

Napoli coach Antonio Conte said it was time to savour the moment after his side went three points clear in the Serie A title race with victory against Torino on Sunday with the win also securing their return to Europe's elite club competition.

Two first-half goals from Scott McTominay helped Napoli to a 2-0 home success, sending them above defending champions Inter Milan in the standings after Simone Inzaghi's side stumbled to a shock 1-0 home loss against AS Roma.

"It's not the first time we're in the lead, we've been in the lead more than anyone else," Conte told a press conference.

"However, there are fewer and fewer games and you can pay for any type of mistake in a big way. We are mathematically in the Champions League, a very important economic goal for the club, and you have to enjoy it at least a little."

Napoli, who won the league title in 2023, were absent from European competitions this season after finishing 10th last term.

"There are four steps to go, I told the lads too," Conte added.
