Napoli Appoint Allegri On Three-year deal
Napoli have appointed Massimiliano Allegri as their new first-team manager following the departure of Antonio Conte.
NEWSNGR reports that the Serie A champions announced the appointment on Friday, confirming that the 58-year-old Italian coach had signed a three-year contract that will run until 2029.
“Napoli welcomes Massimiliano Allegri as manager of the first team,” the club said in a statement.
Allegri arrives at Napoli with vast experience in Italian football, having previously coached Juventus and AC Milan.
He managed Juventus between 2014 and 2019 before returning for a second spell from 2021 to 2024.
He also handled AC Milan from 2010 to 2014 and again during the 2025/26 season before being dismissed after the club failed to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
Allegri replaces Conte, who guided Napoli to the Serie A title in the 2024/25 campaign.
Conte has since been strongly linked with the Italy national team job.
The former Italy international previously managed the national side between 2014 and 2016, leading them to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, where they lost to Germany on penalties.
Napoli’s managerial change is part of a wider coaching shake-up in Serie A.
Since the end of the season, nine of the 20 clubs in the Italian top flight have changed coaches.
Among them are AC Milan, who appointed Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim; Atalanta, who brought in Maurizio Sarri; and Fiorentina, who hired Fabio Grosso.
