Antonio Conte has done the crazy again, Reports have emerged that the Italian manager is set to leave Napoli after taking them to a historic feat of Scudetto.
All is not well in Naples.
He has been immense in their achievements and Napoli have been on fire as they have won against the reigning champions, Inter Milan. Naples has not reacted to this news nicely as fans are asking the club to accommodate the needs and demands of Antonio Conte.
This wouldn’t be the first time Conte walks away after winning silverware, he’s done the same at Juventus, Chelsea, and Inter Milan.
According to multiple reports, the shock exit stems from a major fallout with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis over the club’s future direction.
Some of Antonio Conte’s reported demands to stay at Napoli were:
- A transfer budget of at least €200 million
- Signing 8-9 players
- Raising the club’s wage bill from €80M to €110M to keep key players
- Investment in a new training facility
All of these demands were reportedly REJECTED by the club
All of these demands were reportedly REJECTED by the club as they are not ready to expand their budget and signing so many players needs a solid budget to go in the transfer window. Napoli have been active for Kevin de Bruyne for the summer as they want the belgian at the club.
The Manchester City midfielder is leaving the club after 10 years and at 33 years, he will be looking for a new club. Napoli have emerged as the clear favorites among interests from Saudi clubs and MLS also.
It looks like Conte wants a big revamp in the team and also wants to strengthen the bench. Antonio Conte also wants a big revamp as he usually gets sacked in the second season and fails to replicate his first season accolades.
