Antonio Conte, who previously managed Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, has been appointed as the new manager of Napoli on a three-year deal. The Italian coach expressed his excitement at the opportunity to lead such a globally important club and committed to working alongside his staff to achieve success with Napoli.
Conte’s coaching career has been marked by several notable achievements. He led Chelsea to win the Premier League in 2016-17 and the FA Cup in his second season before being sacked in 2018. In addition, he has won three consecutive Serie A titles with Juventus between 2011-2014 and helped Inter Milan win their first title in 11 years last season.
Napoli have struggled to maintain their success this season, finishing tenth in the league after winning the Serie A title for the first time in 33 years last year. This led to the appointment of Slovakia boss Francesco Calzona on a short-term deal until the end of the season after sacking manager Walter Mazzarri just three months into his tenure. With Conte now at the helm, Napoli will be hoping for a return to form and another successful campaign next year.
