Antonio Conte is back! Ex-Chelsea & Tottenham boss makes one promise as Napoli confirm appointment as new coach after woeful season

Serie A

SSC Napoli

Roma

<p>Having taken some time off from the stresses of being a manager at the top level,<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/antonio-conte-back-napoli-with-gian-piero-gasperini-talks-atalanta-contract/blt2269742d42b3ba99" target="_blank"> Conte is back in Serie A.</a> The former Spurs and Chelsea boss has a decorated career, winning the Premier League and will be hoping to take Napoli back to the top after they recorded a poor title defence in 2023-24.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking for the first time in his new role, Conte said: "Napoli is a place of global importance. I am happy and excited at the idea of sitting on the blue bench. I can certainly promise one thing: I will do my utmost for the growth of the team and the club. My commitment, together with that of my staff, it will be total."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A new chapter in the club's history begins today.<br>Welcome, Antonio Conte! 💙<br> <br>Find out more 👉 <a href="https://t.co/NoMNX3rlZb">https://t.co/NoMNX3rlZb</a><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ConTe?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ConTe</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ForzaNapoliSempre?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ForzaNapoliSempre</a> <a href="https://t.co/nYzFurFnNJ">pic.twitter.com/nYzFurFnNJ</a></p>— Official SSC Napoli (@en_sscnapoli) <a href="https://twitter.com/en_sscnapoli/status/1798295242845925830?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 5, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT CONTE SAID

<p>Conte knows the Serie A like the back of his hand and there is little doubt that he will steer Napoli back towards the top of the table during his three-year stay. He has previously had stints in charge of Atalanta, Juventus and Inter and usually commands high standards and a high budget. With Victor Osimhen potentially on his way out of the club, Conte could have upwards of €100 million to spend.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 54-year-old will likely have to wait to meet most of his first-team squad until pre-season begins in July. Plenty of his top stars are away on international duty but that will not stop Conte from steaming ahead with his transfer plans. </p>
