Massimiliano Allegri set to sign €5 million‑per‑season contract as Napoli head coach

Massimiliano Allegri is on the verge of taking charge of Napoli, with a two‑year deal worth €5 million per season and an optional third year that only Napoli can trigger. The contract, already drafted, does not contain a unilateral termination clause after the first season. Allegri will be supported by a ten‑person staff, reportedly including former striker Bernardo Corradi.

Negotiations have stalled because Napoli president Gerry Cardinale has not responded to Allegri’s representatives, prompting frustration at the club. Allegri left Milan at the end of the season and had sought a severance package, which Napoli may deny. Aurelio De Laurentiis, Napoli’s owner, has reportedly reached out to Zlatan Ibrahimović to discuss a possible meeting in the United States to move the appointment forward.
