Napoli, AC Milan face off as Italy licks World Cup wounds

Napoli and AC Milan will face off on Monday, but the return of domestic football is overshadowed by Italy's failure to qualify for the World Cup. Following a penalty shootout defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina, football federation chief Gabriele Gravina resigned, followed by general manager Gianluigi Buffon. Inter Milan, leading the league, has also faced difficulties, contributing to the sense of despair in Italian football.
