Despite a contract running until 2027, Antonio Conte’s future at Napoli is uncertain. After a challenging season where the Partenopei struggled to defend their Serie A title, friction with the board has increased.
Conte has openly expressed interest in a second stint with the Italian National Team (Azzurri), and owner Aurelio De Laurentiis has hinted he won’t block the move.
The Return of “Sarri-ball”
Napoli is reportedly looking at a familiar face to lead the next era: Maurizio Sarri. Currently at Lazio, the 67-year-old tactician is expected to leave the capital due to disagreements with management.
Sarri is reportedly “welcoming” the chance to return to the club where he revolutionized Italian football between 2015 and 2018.
