Antonio Conte courted by Saudi club Al‑Ittihad with €20 million per‑season offer

Antonio Conte, who recently left his role at Napoli, has been linked to a potential move to Saudi Arabia. According to reports, Al‑Ittihad, a club in the Saudi Pro League, is preparing a contract that could pay roughly €20 million per season, which would rank the Italian manager among the world’s highest‑paid coaches.

The Saudi side, seeking a European coach with a championship pedigree, views Conte as the ideal candidate to lead a new technical project after terminating its previous manager, Sergio Conceição. No formal offer has been confirmed, and Conte has historically declined lucrative proposals that did not align with his sporting ambitions. His decision will likely hinge on the attractiveness of the project, possible opportunities in top European clubs, and considerations regarding his future in Italian football, including the national team.

Meanwhile, Napoli have announced the appointment of Massimo Allegri as their new head coach, signaling a separate development in the Italian club’s management.
