Massimiliano Allegri takes charge of Napoli for the 2026/27 season

Summary

Napoli appointed Massimiliano Allegri as head coach on a three-year contract ahead of the 2026/27 Serie A season. Allegri succeeds Antonio Conte, who led the club to a league title in his first campaign and a second-place finish in his second. The 58-year-old manager previously held roles at AC Milan and Juventus, where he won six Serie A titles. Allegri aims to guide the squad toward objectives in Serie A, the Champions League, and the Italian Cup while maintaining defensive organization. He acknowledges the pressure of following Conte but views the transition as a potential positive omen given their history of crossing paths at Juventus.
