Bidding for the new Napoli coach has been going on for weeks, and as things currently stand, two scenarios await us – a total solution in the near future or complete complications. While the Neapolitan newspaper Il Matino announced that the now former champion of Italy is entering into negotiations with Stefano Pioli’s agents, RAI television announced that an agreement had been reached regarding Antonio Conte’s arrival at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium.🚨 Antonio Conte has reached an agreement on a three-year contract to take over as Napoli manager.

Those details are provided by fan sites close to the club, which claim that the annual salary will be around 6,500,000 euros! This means that Antonio Conte will become the second highest paid coach in Serie A, as only Massimiliano Allegri will remain ahead with 7,000,000 euros. RAI television also points out that the only thing which is now preventing this to be official news is the club’s first man Aurelio de Laurentiis’ ‘yes’. Let us remind you that it was written for Pioli that Napoli prepared a two-year contract worth a total of 6,000,000 euros, but that negotiations with his agents have not yet started. Meanwhile, Conte happened.Ibra favors his teammate for new Milan bossDuring this very turbulent title defense season, Napoli had as many as three experts on the bench. The season started with Rudy Garcia, who was then briefly replaced by Walter Mazzari, but since it didn’t work out with him either, Slovakia coach Francesco Calzona arrived. Nevertheless, Napoli’s season turned into a fiasco because the team is not only not close to defending the title, but only a mere theory leads them to the Champions League, while it is not excluded that they will remain without any European placement, even though as many as ten Serie A clubs could go to the European Cups next August. Milan legends have their own candidate for a new coachConte has been out of action since the end of March last year, when he left Tottenham after a very poor season. He left after public criticism of the club and the first man Daniel Levy, and after being eliminated from all competitions and left without a chance for a new placement in the Champions League. It will be very interesting to see how the Conte – De Laurentiis duo will function in Naples from June. Both are known as very stubborn people and not easy to work with. And where is Victor Osimhen in all of this? Well, the Nigerian striker will surely leave the club in June as PSG, Chelsea and Manchester United are all interested, so there is a big chance that he won’t be around to welcome neither Conte nor Pioli.
