BREAKING: Max Allegri Agrees Deal to Become New Napoli Manager

Massimiliano Allegri is set to become the new Napoli head coach after reaching a full agreement with the Serie A champions to replace Antonio Conte.

The experienced Italian tactician has reportedly accepted all conditions offered by the club and is now expected to officially sign his contract in the coming days.

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis and sporting director Giovanni Manna were both keen on appointing Allegri, viewing the former AC Milan and Juventus manager as the ideal candidate to lead the club into a new era following Conte’s departure.

Allegri beat off competition from several other candidates to win the race for the Napoli job, with negotiations progressing rapidly behind the scenes.

The 57-year-old brings a wealth of experience and a proven winning mentality, having enjoyed successful spells with both AC Milan and Juventus, where he won multiple Serie A titles and guided the Turin giants to two UEFA Champions League finals.

Napoli fans will now be hoping Allegri can build on the club’s recent success and keep them competing at the highest level both domestically and in Europe.
