Rome: Napoli's title defense is going from bad to worse.
The team's third coach this season apologized to fans following a disheartening 1-0 loss at relegation-threatened Empoli on Saturday that left Napoli at risk of failing to qualify for Europe.
Napoli remained in eighth place, a whopping 34 points behind leader Inter Milan with only five rounds remaining.
"We need to work on our pride - more than tactics at this point,” Napoli coach Francesco Calzona said. "I want to apologize to Napoli’s fans.”
Alberto Cerri scored four minutes in with a header for Empoli, which moved four points clear of the drop zone.
