Allegri named Napoli coach; Anguissa retained and transfer plans underway

Massimiliano Allegri is set to become Napoli's head coach after the club finalises his contract release from Milan, with Fabrizio Romano indicating the paperwork should be completed within the next week. Napoli have already exercised the option to extend midfielder Frank Zambo Anguissa's contract until 2027 and confirmed he will join the team’s pre‑season camp in Dimaro, where Allegri will assess his fitness and motivation before deciding on any future move. The club has made clear that Anguissa will only be sold for a financially significant offer.

Napoli’s transfer activity this window includes a softened stance from Lazio on defender Mario Gila, opening negotiations for a possible deal. The club is also pursuing goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, a move that depends on the departure of current keeper Sergej Milinković‑Savić. Additional strategic signings and renewals mentioned are Slovak midfielder Stanislav Lobotka (contract extension until 2029), Argentine winger Antonio Vergara (until 2030) and reinforced midfield depth around the new coach’s project.

Overall, Napoli are consolidating key squad members while exploring targeted additions as Allegri prepares for his first season, aiming to build a competitive side for domestic and European competitions.
