Aurelio De Laurentiis has made his final decision: Massimiliano Allegri is the new manager of Napoli. Following Antonio Conte's departure, the Neapolitan club has chosen the former Milan coach to lead the team into the new season, formalizing an agreement set to expire on June 30, 2029. The official announcement came directly through the president's social media channels.

The agreement between the club and the manager is based on a three-year contract worth €4.5 million net per season, a figure closely mirroring the €5 million he earned during his final season at Milan. This move revives a curious historical parallel: exactly as it happened in 2014 on the Juventus bench, Allegri once again finds himself inheriting Antonio Conte's technical legacy at the helm of a Serie A giant.

The official statement from SSC Napoli retraced the rich career of the manager from Livorno, who previously wore the Azzurri shirt as a player between 1997 and 1998. His managerial track record boasts a historic promotion to Serie B with Sassuolo, a Scudetto victory with Milan in 2011, and an extraordinary era at Juventus characterized by five consecutive league titles, four Coppa Italia trophies, and two Champions League finals, before his return to Turin in 2024 and his recent stint at Milan last season.
