Massimiliano Allegri appointed Napoli head coach until 2029
SSC Napoli announced that former Juventus and Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri will take over as first‑team coach, replacing Antonio Conte. The club’s president Aurelio De Laurentiis posted a brief “Benvenuto Max!” on social media and confirmed a contract that runs until 30 June 2029, with a reported salary of €4.5 million per season plus bonuses for Champions‑League qualification and a league title.
Allegri, 58, was dismissed by Milan after a disappointing campaign and previously played for Napoli in the 1997‑98 season. His managerial record includes five Serie A titles with Juventus, a Scudetto with Milan and numerous domestic cups. The club is planning a formal presentation, with dates still under discussion – possibilities include a ceremony in Naples in mid‑July or a later event at the pre‑season training camp in Dimaro.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions, some praising the experienced appointment and others questioning the choice after recent setbacks. Napoli will now look to rebuild the squad under Allegri’s guidance ahead of the new season.
