Conte stays in office, Naples reverses the world

Conte has decided to continue coaching Naples. The news was confirmed after key talks with club senior leaders.

According to Sky Sports, Conte and Naples Chairman De Laurentis held an important meeting in the early morning of May 30, with club sports director Giovanni Manna and CEO Andrea Chiavelli also attending. After the meeting, Conte officially agreed to renew his contract and will continue to lead this Serie A champion team last season to compete in the new season.

de Laurentis immediately posted a news on social media platform X: "Full speed, stronger than ever!" The personality chairman, who has always been accustomed to posting news to the public in person, took the lead in revealing the good news in his signature high-profile way. The background for this decision is that Conte just led the team to an extremely successful season - they won the Serie A championship in the 2024/25 season.

Although there were rumors that Conte was interested in finding new challenges, and he also faced pressure from players, fans, coaching staff and even family, the warm scene of celebrating on the open-top bus parade deeply touched the heartstrings of the coach, and eventually prompted him to decide to stay and continue writing the journey.

In addition to emotional factors, Chairman De Laurentis also made key commitments in the negotiations, including a substantial signing in the summer transfer market and a comprehensive upgrade of the training facilities. The current training base is believed to have caused the team's frequent injury problems last season to a certain extent.

Although Conte's salary will increase, its contract structure will remain basically unchanged, showing the confidence and stability of the two parties in future cooperation.

At the same time, Naples is also fully prepared for the new season. It was revealed that they had reached a personal agreement with Belgian midfielder superstar De Bruyne. The latter will join as a free agent after the expiration of the contract with Manchester City, which will become a major signing that has caused a sensation in football.

This move will undoubtedly further enhance Naples' strength and lay a solid foundation for them to defend their Serie A championship and to strive for higher goals in the Champions League.
