The Dane found it hard to settle at Man United, and he underwent a 21-game goal drought that made the club question the signing. However, since arriving in Naples, the 23-year-old has found the net 12 times across all competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hojlund claimed Conte to be the \u2018right coach\u2019 for him as he charted his own improvement journey from August. He said: <em>\u201cI still have a lot to learn, and I\u2019m sure Conte is the right coach to help me grow in many ways. Compared to Rasmus in August, I\u2019m a different player. I\u2019m still improving, and even though I\u2019m not very young, I\u2019m sure I still have a lot of room for improvement.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Ezoic - wp_under_first_paragraph - under_first_paragraph --><!-- End Ezoic - wp_under_first_paragraph - under_first_paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The Danish striker finds Conte to be an incredibly resilient coach, as his pushing hard mindset has certainly boded well with the player. Hojlund said: <em>\u201cHe\u2019s mentally incredibly strong. I\u2019m fascinated by his mentality: he\u2019s passionate, fierce. And he\u2019s a winner. In fact, a serial winner. And if he doesn\u2019t win, we immediately understand that we haven\u2019t won.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Hojlund joined the Partenopei on a \u20ac6 million fee for a season-long loan deal in the summer, and the club have the option to buy him for a reported \u20ac44 million transfer fee should they qualify for the Champions League next season. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is an unpredictable man when it comes to keeping players and selling them, but Hojlund has already made a good case for him to get a permanent move done this summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trambak Bhattacherjee | GIFN<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getfootballnewsitaly.com\/2026\/manchester-united-loanee-rasmus-hojlund-heaps-praise-on-napoli-boss-antonio-conte\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Manchester United loanee to Napoli, Rasmus Hojlund praised his current manager Antonio Conte for helping him improve on his game and for raising the stakes much higher than what he found in the Premier League side.\u00a0 Speaking in an interview with Il Mattino (via Alfredo Pedulla), Hojlund was quick to acknowledge and appreciate Conte\u2019s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2470,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-giocatori-italiani-allestero"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3683\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.matteocoachperformance.it\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
