Antonio Conte could leave Napoli; Massimiliano Allegri seen as potential replacement: Report

The Italian manager led the club to the Scudetto this season.

Antonio Conte’s future at Napoli is coming under increasing scrutiny. According to reports, the Salento-born coach, who recently started his career with the Neapolitan squad, is seriously considering returning to Juventus of Turin, where he had a successful coaching stint in the past.

The current Serie A champion’s board is alarmed by this possibility, particularly Aurelio De Laurentiis, who is unwilling to be taken by surprise by a sudden departure.

Di Marzio claims that the club’s top South Italian official is already preparing a backup plan in case Conte decides to leave. Massimiliano Allegri is the name that has gained the most attention in the last few hours.

After leaving the Vecchia Signora last season, the seasoned coach became available and shows up as a reliable and knowledgeable choice to lead the project if necessary.

A two-year contract worth an estimated six million euros a season would be offered by De Laurentiis. Allegri, who has been attracting interest from a number of teams in recent months, would welcome the opportunity to be in charge of a team that has genuine goals in Italy and Europe.

Despite Conte’s uncertain future, Napoli still have an entire summer window. Contacts with Allegri, whose profile would be ideal in the event of a managerial change, have accelerated due to the danger of a possible move by their current coach to Turin.

Antonio Conte would undoubtedly be delighted to continue at Napoli, but with reports of his uncertain future at the club making the rounds, it remains to be seen what will happen in the summer.

However, it has been stated that the former coach of Juventus and Inter is unhappy with what he perceives to be a lack of commitment to the team. Thus, after only one season at the helm, he could depart on a high note.

As a result, after the end of the current campaign, anything can happen as Napoli will hope to defend the title going into next season.
