Napoli Appoint Allegri as Conte’s Successor

4 Jul 2026

Napoli have appointed Massimiliano Allegri as their new head coach after Antonio Conte’s departure, choosing a manager with deep Serie A experience and a proven record of winning. The decision points to a desire for structure, control and immediate authority. Allegri’s challenge will be to restore calm while keeping Napoli ambitious. Supporters will expect clear tactical organisation, but also enough attacking quality to compete near the top after a period of transition.
