Antonio Conte is reportedly on the verge of a surprise departure from Napoli, just days after guiding the club to their fourth Serie A title.
Conte’s Napoli clinched the Scudetto earlier this week with a 2-0 victory over Cagliari, finishing ahead of Inter Milan. Celebrations have erupted across Naples, with the club planning a city-wide open-top bus parade on Monday. However, behind the scenes, uncertainty looms.
According to Sky Italia, the team and staff are scheduled to meet Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday, after which Conte is expected to hold decisive talks with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis and the Napoli board. Initial reports indicate that Conte is unlikely to continue in his role.
Meanwhile, La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Napoli have already lined up former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri as Conte’s potential replacement. The club is said to be eager to maintain momentum in Serie A and mount a strong challenge in the Champions League next season.
If Allegri takes over, a busy summer transfer window is expected as he looks to reshape the squad. Conte’s next move remains uncertain, with no concrete links to other clubs at this time.
