Overview
- Conte announced his resignation publicly after Napoli’s final Serie A match this weekend, ending a two-year spell that included the 2025 title.
- He told Napoli’s president weeks earlier that he planned to leave despite being under contract through 2027 and left after the club secured second place.
- Conte said he had failed to “unite” the club and criticised people he said spread “poison” inside the organisation.
- Italian media now name Conte as a leading candidate to replace the vacant Italy manager role after the national team missed World Cup qualification and Gennaro Gattuso resigned.
- Reports citing transfer expert Fabrizio Romano say Gattuso is poised to take Lazio and that Maurizio Sarri may be dismissed, but those moves remain unconfirmed and could trigger further rapid changes across Serie A.
