Napoli's club president Aurelio De Laurentiis has made surprising comments regarding head coach Antonio Conte's future with the newly crowned Italian champions.
"Will Conte stay at Napoli? Never say never. Coaches have their own opinions that must be respected. One should never force anyone to stay, even when contracts are in place," De Laurentiis told DAZN. "However, I would be very happy if he tried his hand at the Champions League. Antonio has done excellent work."
The statements come after Conte's remarkable debut season with the Naples-based club, culminating in winning the coveted Scudetto. His tactical approach has transformed Napoli into Italy's premier team, marking a significant achievement for both the coach and the southern Italian club.
According to Statbet analysis, Conte's Napoli has displayed one of the most balanced attacking and defensive records in Serie A this season, highlighting the tactical brilliance behind their championship run.
Reportedly, Conte himself has previously addressed questions about his future at Napoli, though speculation continues about whether the accomplished manager will remain to lead the team in their upcoming Champions League campaign or seek new challenges elsewhere.
