Massimiliano Allegri appointed Napoli head coach as staff and transfer plans take shape

Massimiliano Allegri is set to sign a three‑year contract with Napoli, linking him to the club until 2029 after finalising his release from Milan. The appointment is expected to be announced early next week, with Napoli planning a mountain‑top presentation in Val di Sole during the team's pre‑season camp.

Allegri’s first priorities include reshaping the squad. Napoli are targeting defender Mario Gila from Lazio, with the club willing to negotiate a fee around €20 million. Additional options being discussed are a loan deal for striker Lorenzo Lucca and a possible sale of forward Dodo to Roma. On the attacking front, Noa Lang’s future is uncertain, with Fiorentina reportedly interested in a loan move.

In the goalkeeper department, Allegri has indicated a desire for a different starter, putting Serbian keeper Vanja Milinković‑Savić on the transfer block. Guglielmo Vicario has been mentioned as a potential replacement. Staff changes are also expected: Daniele Borri may replace long‑time goalkeeping coach Rosalen Lopez, while veteran goalkeeper coach Claudio Filippi is linked with a move to Fiorentina.

Across Serie A, the coaching roster is now complete with Allegri listed as Napoli’s new manager, confirming the club’s overhaul ahead of the new season.
