Napoli Confident About Conte Not Leaving Abruptly | OneFootball

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis or other officials haven’t come out publicly to stop the chatter about the future of Antonio Conte, some of which was fueled by the gaffer directly. Behind the scenes, there’s not much worry that he will bolt prematurely in the summer, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Azzurri share the same ambitions and objectives. The hierarchy knows that the squad will need to be bolstered significantly to measure up to playing in multiple competitions. The goal will be to have 22 true starting-level contributors to allow the coach to manage the energies.

Napoli will have plenty to spend to satisfy the requests of Conte thanks to the Champions League prize money, the likely sale of Victor Osimhen, and what they got from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in January. The ownership won’t nix big investments if prestigious targets could be in their sights.

The boss is under contract with two more campaigns. Therefore, the higher-ups haven’t felt the urge to speak up to dismiss the rumors.

Our Take on Napoli and Conte

It’s a nice question whether he’d be more likely to force his way out if they won the Scudetto or if they just missed out. They might not get a better chance than this since two of the usual suspects self-combusted. The scenarios for his future have changed quickly in a couple of weeks. Milan aren’t much of a threat to lure him without Fabio Paratici, and Igor Tudor is progressively earning his permanence at Juventus. Those developments take away the two most likely landing spots.
