Antonio Conte will leave Napoli this summer, 12 months after winning the Serie A title with the club. He took charge in 2024 and delivered a fourth top-flight title in the club’s history in his first season. In the following season, Napoli finished second, 11 points behind Inter Milan, and failed to reach the Champions League knockout phase. After Napoli beat Udinese 1-0 in their final match, Conte announced his departure during a joint media conference with club president Aurelio de Laurentiis. Conte said the decision was his and that Napoli will always be home. When asked about the Italian national team, he advised hiring Pep Guardiola.
"“It’s been an honour, really special to coach Napoli. It’s been two great seasons, an exceptional experience,” Conte told Italian media. “It was my decision, I told the chairman a few weeks ago. Napoli will always be home.”"
