Napoli has turned to serial winner Antonio Conte to revive their fortunes after a chaotic 2023-24 campaign. The fiery Italian manager signed a three-year deal, bringing his trademark intensity to a club that slumped to 10th place just one year after winning their first Serie A title in 33 years. ⚽
\"Antonio is a leader who can rebuild our foundations,\" said club president Aurelio De Laurentiis, referencing last season's spectacular collapse that saw Napoli lose more games (11) than they won (13). The poor finish means no UEFA Champions League or Europa League football next season – a bitter pill for fans still celebrating their 2022-23 Scudetto.
Conte, who’s been without a team since leaving Tottenham in 2023, boasts a trophy cabinet that would make Marvel’s Thanos jealous: four Serie A titles (three with Juventus, one with Inter Milan) and a Premier League crown with Chelsea. 🏆 The 54-year-old’s appointment signals Napoli’s ambition to return to Italy’s top tier – both literally and figuratively.
Can Conte work his magic? All eyes will be on how he reshapes a squad that went through three managers last season. One thing’s certain: Napoli’s comeback arc just got a lot more interesting. 💥
