SSC Napoli kicks off pre‑season camp in Castel di Sangro under Allegri
Massimiliano Allegri arrived in Castel di Sangro to oversee SSC Napoli’s first pre‑season training session at the Teofilo Patini stadium. The camp featured high‑intensity drills, virtual‑reality exercises for goalkeeper Vanja Milinković‑Savić, and pressure‑focused small‑sided games. Gonzalo Gutierrez rejoined the squad on the training pitch, while Matías Olivera was tried out as a central defender.
Noa Lang, who struggled last season, was reintegrated into the project, and club president Aurelio De Laurentiis said Napoli will maintain financial stability and aim for continued competitiveness without new signings this summer. Ahead of the camp, Kevin De Bruyne is scheduled to appear at the club’s centenary ceremony in Piazza del Plebiscito before joining the team in Castel di Sangro.
