Overview
- Napoli closed the 2025–26 Serie A campaign with a 1-0 home win over Udinese on Sunday, May 24, 2026, with Rasmus Hojlund scoring the only goal in the 24th minute.
- Conte announced he has decided to leave Napoli after two seasons and told president Aurelio De Laurentiis of his decision a few weeks ago.
- At a tense post-match news conference Conte thanked the president and the tifosi, refused broadcaster questions, and blamed refereeing decisions and the city’s football atmosphere for his choice.
- Italian media immediately linked Conte to the vacant Italy national-team role but any formal appointment must wait for the Italian Football Federation to elect a new president on June 22, 2026.
- Conte’s tenure delivered the 2025 Serie A title and a Supercoppa but also a Champions League group-stage exit this season, leaving Napoli to begin a summer search for a successor and possible squad adjustments.
