Former Tottenham and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is reportedly being eyed by Napoli as they grapple with a disappointing start to the season. Conte, who left Tottenham in a storm of controversy seven months ago, might replace current Napoli coach Rudi Garcia, under increasing scrutiny due to the team’s underwhelming performance in Serie A.
Conte, renowned for clinching the Premier League title with Chelsea in 2017, has been without a coaching role since his departure from Spurs in March. According to Sky Sport Italia, Napoli’s ownership, including Aurelio De Laurentiis, is deliberating Garcia’s position after the team’s recent 3-1 home defeat against Fiorentina left them trailing seven points behind AC Milan.
The Italian news outlet further reveals that Napoli officials held discussions on Monday about Garcia’s future, with Conte and former Marseille manager Igor Tudor also in contention for the coaching role. As the pressure mounts on Garcia, Napoli is exploring options to revive their season, considering the experienced Conte as a potential game-changer.
