Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Antonio Conte has resigned from his position as Napoli manager and will depart at the end of the current season.
Despite a contract running until the summer of 2027, Conte decided to conclude his two-year tenure with the Partenopei following a disappointing campaign. According to Romano, Conte informed President Aurelio De Laurentiis of his decision a month ago, with both parties agreeing to a mutual termination without compensation.
