Antonio Conte may indeed say goodbye to Napoli, and President Aurelio De Laurentiis has even reportedly already chosen a replacement
Antonio Conte’s future remains a rebus. For someone, such as journalist Ivan Zazzaroni, he will remain anchored to the Napoli bench; for someone else, his relationship with President De Laurentiis is at an all-time low and he could really consider a farewell. The Lecce coach would agitate everyone, raising the hopes of AC Milan and Juventus, who hope to be able to offer him a contract for next season.
In the pages of Tuttosport this morning, former Salvatore Bagni said that, according to him, Conte is not satisfied with the January market and would be concretely considering leaving Napoli. A hypothesis that terrifies Neapolitan fans with 8 days left in the championship and 3 points away from Inter in first place.

According to reports in Repubblica, Conte and De Laurentiis are scheduled to meet at the end of the season. The parties are expected to discuss after a fiery finish to the season. The differences between a second-place finish and a fourth Scudetto will be considerable.

At that point, work can be done on the summer soccer market, and only after agreement on intentions is reached can the technician be confirmed for next season as well.
Otherwise, according to what Tuttosport reports, the Napoli owner would already have a replacement in mind. It would be Massimiliano Allegri, who has been stationary this season after his exoneration from Juventus at the end of last season. A high-level solution, at least in terms of palmares and status, but one that would divide the piazza.
A scenario, at the moment, that is still remote, given that Conte has a three-year contract and eight finals to play between now and May. The next one will be Monday, April 7, against Bologna, less than a week away. The last game against a team fighting for a place in Europe, a very scary match for the current status of the Rossoblu. Head to the field, then fate will be decided, with a Conte farewell being contemplated but hopefully occurring as far away in time as possible.
