Napoli appoints Massimiliano Allegri as coach with €13.5 million contract

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentis is set to finalise the hiring of former AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri. The club plans to offer a three‑year deal worth €4.5 million per season plus bonuses, amounting to roughly €13.5 million through 2028, and expects Allegri to lead the team in domestic and European competitions after a disappointing campaign.

Ahead of Allegri’s official presentation, Italian media have analysed how his tactics might reshape the side. Suggested line‑ups feature a 3‑4‑2‑1 formation with Alex Meret in goal, a back three of Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Amir Rrahmani and Mathías Olivera, and midfield anchored by Stanislav Lobotka and Scott McTominay. Attacking roles could involve Kevin De Bruyne and Rasmus Hojlund, among other options.
