The point of the Republic
Conte has never been so close to Napoli as after yesterday’s meeting in FilmAuro. The former coach would be inclined to accept De Laurentiis’ proposal (three-year contract worth around 7 million plus bonuses) but is perplexed on one aspect.
Conte-Napoli, it can be done but on one condition

He talks about it today the Republichere is what our editorial staff highlighted: “The choice has been made and Antonio Conte is in pole position for the Napoli bench more than ever, even if yesterday’s important corporate meeting ended only with a gray smoke. In fact, there will still be work to be done to reach an agreement with the former national team coach, who is generally willing to accept the financial offer received from the Azzurri: salary from 7 million plus bonuses. The parties are also close on the possible duration of the relationship, which it should be three-yearly and therefore end on 30 June 2027. But there is the crux of one termination clause that Aurelio De Laurentiis intends to include in the contract, reserving the unilateral possibility of terminating the relationship with the Apulian coach already at the end of the first season, in the event of immediate failure to qualify for the Champions League (…) Conte is perplexed for at least two reasons: why he inherits a team in disarray and above all for his different vision of the project to be carried out on the blue bench, projected over time and not linked only to the immediacy of the result to be achieved. In fact, the former national coach would prefer it work without constraintsto rebuild the group from the foundations and thus lay the foundations to open a long cycle of successes, having three seasons at his disposal to bring the team back to the top in Italy and Europe.”
