Allegri Reportedly Set to Replace Conte at Napoli as Talks Start Over Rabiot

Italian media say the likely coaching change would shift Napoli’s tactics and could prompt midfield sales that open space for targeted signings.

Overview

Multiple Italian outlets and international trackers report that Massimiliano Allegri has an agreement to become Napoli’s coach for 2026–27, though Napoli have not issued an official confirmation.
Those reports say Allegri is keen to bring Adrien Rabiot from AC Milan, citing the pair’s past working relationship at Juventus and Milan as the basis for the link.
Rabiot is under contract with Milan until 2028 and earns a reported €5.5 million a year, which would complicate any transfer and likely require a substantial offer.
Coverage notes Napoli could sell Andre‑Frank Zambo Anguissa, which would create a midfield vacancy that Allegri would seek to fill if the managerial move proceeds.
All reporting is currently speculative with no formal talks, bids, or club confirmations reported and any moves will depend on decisions by Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis and sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli.
