A seismic shock has just hit the Italian football landscape.
Details: According to insider Fabrizio Romano, Antonio Conte has made the final decision to step down as Napoli’s head coach at the end of the current season.
As revealed by renowned insiders, this was far from a spur-of-the-moment decision. Conte carefully weighed his options and personally informed club president Aurelio De Laurentiis a month ago, giving the management ample time to start searching for a successor and prepare for the summer break.
In typical fashion for the ever-pragmatic Conte, the separation will be handled with maximum respect and financial transparency. There will be no activation of the early termination clause in his contract—Conte is leaving absolutely free of charge, with no severance or compensation from Napoli.
Reminder: Current Lazio head coach Maurizio Sarri has agreed to take charge of Napoli.
