Conte-Napoli, concrete moves by De Laurentiis: but there is a problem

Antonio Conte still in Napoli’s sights, a concrete move from president De Laurentiis arrives: a problem arises.

President De Laurentiis continues to take into consideration different profiles for the role of the next Napoli coach. The 2024/25 season will be the one of relaunch: the Azzurri, following the very disappointing championship, will have to roll up their sleeves to completely reverse the outcome of the current season.

Napoli’s number one would be testing the waters for monitoring some very interesting coaches: in the last few hours it has also been taken into consideration Domenico Tedescocurrently technical commissioner of Belgium who will play their chances in the upcoming European Championship, scheduled in Germany. The coach has had various experiences in Germany, in particular with the Leipzig with which he won one German Cup.

Among the candidates, according to the taste of the Neapolitan patron, there would be Stefano Pioli, in an exit from Milan after a fluctuating championship and a European adventure that was anything but comparable to that of last season. Last year, in fact, the Rossoneri ended their European journey by surrendering to their cousins ​​Inter in the semi-final. To date, however, the disappointments remain evident Europa League at the hands of Roma and prematurely in the groups of Champions League with PSG and Borussia Dortmundsemi-finalists of the competition.

Conte’s role in the negotiation is increasingly gaining ground

In light of the Rossoneri’s decision to distance themselves from their former Fiorentina coach following his disappointing management throughout the year, Antonio Conteas reported by Mediasetwould be taking time to wait for the final decision from the Rossoneri management.

The former Juventus and Inter coach would embrace the Milan project thanks also to the support of a figure in the club like that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic who would like to entrust him with the Rossoneri keys. Meanwhile, De Laurentiis offers carte blanche to Conte, Napoli’s first target for the bench for the next and imminent football season. The Lecce coach, in October, rejected the Italian cause as he was not interested in joining the club during the current season.

However, they remain more distant in the viewfinder Vincenzo Italiano who at the end of the season will part ways with Fiorentina to probably join Bologna. The rossoblù team is very close to qualifying for the Champions League and will probably lose Thiago Motta who is increasingly in Juventus orbit. Gian Piero Gasperini, instead, he would have opted for a different path from the Neapolitan one. The president of Atalanta, Antonio Percassi, would have offered him a very important contract renewal which could convince him to stay until 2026, with an option until 2027.
