Allegri Appointed Napoli Coach on Three-Year Deal

His arrival shifts Napoli into a new phase focused on staying competitive in Serie A and Europe as he assesses the squad and shapes transfer priorities during pre-season.

Overview

Allegri was formally unveiled at Naples’ Teatro San Carlo on Tuesday and has signed a three-year contract to lead SSC Napoli through June 2029.
He said he had no talks with the Italian Football Federation before taking the job and denied any pre-appointment contact about the national team.
Allegri set clear targets to keep Napoli competing for the Serie A title, the Champions League and the Coppa Italia and said he will lay groundwork in pre-season to be 'in contention' by March.
He acknowledged that AC Milan’s late-season collapse 'weighed on' him, declined to respond to Milan owner Gerry Cardinale’s remarks, and noted Milan have already replaced him with Ruben Amorim.
Allegri said he will work with president Aurelio De Laurentiis and sporting directors Giovanni Manna and Andrea Chiavelli to assess the squad, judge the goalkeeper pecking order between Alex Meret and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, and review transfer needs while developing Rasmus Hojlund within his plans; he cited his past record replacing Antonio Conte as relevant context for the transition.
