Napoli are still searching for a new coach, with Massimiliano Allegri remaining a candidate. Maurizio Sarri is also being considered for the post-Conte era, though his decision is being weighed alongside an offer from Atalanta, which has upset De Laurentiis. After Sarri’s uncertainty, De Laurentiis has returned to Allegri, whom he pursued previously before Allegri chose Milan and Conte stayed. Allegri’s situation is complicated by Milan’s reluctance to part ways and his desire to honor his contract through 2028 if Champions League qualification is achieved. Vincenzo Italiano is also gaining attention, but his current club is also unwilling to release him.
"Aurelio De Laurentiis is still looking for a new coach for Napoli, and Massimiliano Allegri's name is on his list. Despite all of the talk that Gerry Cardinale is ready to give his full backing to Allegri and that the coach himself also wants to stay, there have also been a number of stories suggesting that Napoli are back in for him again, having tried several times before."
"Today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanPress) reports that Maurizio Sarri is the first name for the post-Conte era. However, it turns out that the Lazio boss is seriously evaluating Atalanta's offer too, something De Laurentiis did not take well despite having given Sarri a few more days to decide."
"Given the disappointment, De Laurentiis has returned to thinking about Allegri, who he had also sought last year before he chose Milan and Conte chose to stay. It is a very complicated path because the Rossoneri do not intend to part ways with the coach."
"In addition to that, Allegri wants to respect his contract (which will extend until 2028 in the event of Champions League qualification) and continue with his second spell at the Rossoneri. So, Napoli are likely to have to turn elsewhere. Vincenzo Italiano's candidacy is rising, having also been sought in the past. Just like with Milan and Allegri, though, the Rossoblu do not want to let him go."
