Napoli are set for a managerial change at the end of the season after head coach Antonio Conte reportedly decided to leave the club.
According to reports, Conte made his decision about a month ago and has already informed club president Aurelio De Laurentiis. The departure is expected to take place at the end of the current campaign.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Tuesday, “Antonio Conte has decided to leave Napoli at the end of the season, it’s over. Conte made his decision and informed the president De Laurentiis already one month ago. There will be no exit fee, Conte will leave without severance pay and without any agreement elsewhere.”
Conte’s time at Napoli has been closely followed due to his reputation as a demanding and results-driven coach, known for quickly reshaping squads and instilling tactical discipline.
His decision to leave will now force the club to reassess their long-term sporting project.
No official statement has yet been released by Napoli, but internal discussions are expected to focus on succession planning once the season concludes.
During his tenure, Napoli also secured major success by winning the Serie A title in his debut season and adding the Supercoppa Italiana, reflecting his immediate impact on the squad’s competitiveness.
