Massimiliano Allegri poised to become Napoli’s head coach

Massimiliano Allegri is on the verge of completing his move from Milan to SSC Napoli. The Tuscan coach’s Milan contract, running to 2027, is set to be terminated in a decisive meeting, after which a three‑year deal with Napoli—initially reported as lasting until 2029—will be signed. Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has outlined a project that includes trimming a 37‑player squad and targeting specific signings such as defender Mario Gila and winger Anan Khalaili.

In parallel, full‑back Leonardo Spinazzola has officially renewed his contract with Napoli until June 2028, securing a key versatile player who contributed to the club’s recent Serie A title and Supercoppa. The club’s summer transfer strategy will focus on balancing departures with targeted arrivals to support Allegri’s tactical plans.

The appointment marks the end of Antonio Conte’s two‑year tenure and signals a new technical direction for Napoli in domestic competition and the Champions League.
