Luciano Spalletti has suggested that he could leave Napoli just weeks after guiding the club to the Serie A title.
Spalletti has received much praise after Napoli won Serie A for the first time since 1990.
However, the 64-year-old has since dropped several hints that he could depart.
In addition, president Aurelio De Laurentiis stated that he didn't want to 'clip the wings' of the coach.
Speaking in a press conference following Napoli's 3-1 win over Inter, Spalletti said the situation 'has been brewing for a long time' after working 'from morning to night'.
He said: 'The matter has been decided, you don't change your mind every day.
'It is a situation that has been brewing for a long time. When you work from morning to night, some matters tend to mature in your mind, because you have to put this spectacle on all the time.
'If you are not convinced that you can give everything these people deserve, it's right to think it over. You think it over, you arrive at a conclusion and then you stick with it.
'This is not something that just fell from the sky out of nowhere.'
Spalletti, who has been in charge of Roma since 2021, has a year remaining on his contract.
If Spalletti departs then he could be replaced by Rafa Benitez, who previously managed Napoli between 2013 and 2015.
It was recently reported that Spalletti is not on speaking terms with De Laurentiis, with negotiations over a new deal having frozen.
There is uncertainty over whether Napoli can repeat their title feat next season.
64-year-old Spalletti has had a lengthy managerial career, the vast majority of which has been spent in Italy.
Napoli's success this season is the first time that Spalletti has won the Serie A title.
He has previously had spells at clubs including Inter Milan, Roma, Udinese and Zenit St Petersburg.
