Tuesday, May 26, 2026 -Antonio Conte has announced he will leave Napoli this summer, 12 months after guiding the club to the Serie A title.
The former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur boss took charge of
Napoli in 2024 and in his first season, delivered a fourth top-flight title in
their history.
However, this season Napoli finished second, 11 points
behind champions Inter Milan.
His exit comes shortly after Napoli’s 1-0 win over Udinese
on the final day of Serie A, bringing an end to the campaign and Conte’s spell
in charge.
Speaking after the match, the Italian was open about his
decision, explaining that he felt the project had reached its natural
conclusion.
“A month ago, I called the president asking for nothing, and he didn’t tell me
anything either. I told him I felt our project was coming to an end and that
there had been no change in plans,” Conte said.
“I made this decision because I failed at one thing in
Naples: I couldn’t bring unity to the environment, and it’s difficult to
compete without that.”
When asked if he could become the new manager of the Italian
national team, Conte said: "My advice would be to hire Pep
Guardiola."
