Former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has been appointed the new boss of Napoli on a three-year deal.
The 54-year-old has not managed since he left Spurs by mutual consent in March 2023 after 16 months in charge.
Despite a disappointing time in North London, Conte has had a decorated coaching career after winning the Premier League in his first season at Chelsea (2016-17) and the FA Cup in his second before being sacked in 2018.
“Napoli is a place of global importance. I am happy and excited at the idea of sitting on the blue bench,” Conte said.
“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.”
