Antonio Conte is on the verge of leaving Napoli after just one season, despite leading the team to their fourth Serie A title. The news, reported by Sky Sport, suggests that Conte’s decision is final and not solely based on the team’s investment or upcoming transfer market moves.
Conte’s departure is set to be confirmed in a meeting with Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis, scheduled to take place after the team’s reception with Pope Leo XIV. De Laurentiis is reportedly keen on replacing Conte with Massimiliano Allegri, and wants to wrap up the process quickly.
Possible Contenders for Allegri’s Services
Other top Italian clubs are also in the running to snag Allegri, including:
- Inter, whose current manager Simone Inzaghi has a lucrative offer from Al Hilal
- Milan, who are set to part ways with manager Sérgio Conceição
Napoli is eager to avoid a lengthy process and secure Allegri’s services before other clubs can make their move. The question on everyone’s mind is: what’s next for Conte, and who will ultimately land the coveted Italian manager Allegri?
