Allegri takes the reins from Conte as new boss of Napoli
Massimiliano Allegri will replace Antonio Conte as Napoli manager, the Serie A club announced Friday.
n“Napoli welcomes Massimiliano Allegri as manager of the first team,” it said in a statement, adding that the 58-year-old had signed a three-year contract lasting until 2029.
nAllegri previously coached Juventus (2014-19, 2021-24) and AC Milan (2010-14, 2025-26). Milan sacked him after the team missed out on next season’s Champions League.
nSince the end of the season, nine of the 20 Serie A teams have changed coaches, including Napoli, AC Milan, which hired the Portuguese Ruben Amorim, Atalanta Bergamo (Maurizio Sarri), and Fiorentina (Fabio Grosso).
nConte, who guided Napoli to the Serie A title in the 2024/25 campaign, has been touted as the favourite to take over as Italy coach.
nThe former Italy international previously coached the national side between 2014 and 2016, taking them to the Euro 2016 quarter-finals, where they lost on penalties to Germany.
