Antonio Conte stays at Napoli! It was never over… and he will continue.
Conte, who only arrived at the club at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, helped deliver the league title success last week after a dramatic final day of the season.
As the players and staff celebrated, however, rumours began circulating that suggested the former Tottenham and Chelsea boss would be relieved of his duties.
As quoted by Football Italia, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis said: 'I wish Conte continuing success in his professional life. Thank you, Antonio.'
However, it appears that De Laurentiis and his chiefs have had a change of heart - with Conte is set to stay on as Napoli head coach.
Taking to X on Thursday, De Laurentiis shared a picture of himself and Conte with the caption: 'FULL SPEED AHEAD. STRONGER THAN BEFORE!'.
