Napoli are reportedly preparing for a major change on the bench after manager Antonio Conte decided to leave the club at the end of the season.
Reports indicate that Conte reached the decision about a month ago and has already informed club president Aurelio De Laurentiis of his intention to step down once the current campaign concludes.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano shared the update on đť•Ź on May 19, revealing that the Italian tactician would depart without any severance package or agreement with another club.
According to Romano, “Antonio Conte has decided to leave Napoli at the end of the season. Conte informed president De Laurentiis about his decision a month ago. He will leave without any exit fee or agreement elsewhere.”
Conte’s expected departure will bring an end to a short but impactful spell at the club. Since arriving in Naples, the former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager quickly transformed the team with his tactical discipline and winning mentality.
Napoli viewed his appointment as a bold move aimed at restoring the club’s status among Italy’s elite, and the decision paid off almost immediately.
One of the biggest highlights of Conte’s tenure came when he guided Napoli to the Serie A title in his first season in charge, further cementing his reputation as one of Europe’s top managers.
The club also lifted the Supercoppa Italiana during his reign, underlining the immediate success he brought to the squad.
Despite those achievements, Conte’s departure now raises questions about Napoli’s long-term direction and who will lead the team into the next chapter.
As of the time of filing this report, the club has yet to release an official statement regarding the manager’s future.
