According to recent reports, Antonio Conte is a strong candidate to replace Gennaro Gattuso as the head coach of the Italian national team. Napoli is reportedly preparing for this potential scenario, ensuring they are not caught unprepared should Conte accept the national role.
Club President Aurelio De Laurentiis is reportedly exploring a shortlist of intriguing managerial candidates. After relying on experienced coaches recently, he is now inclined towards identifying a rising talent, particularly one who favors a more dynamic and attacking style of play.
Napoli initially appointed Conte to swiftly restore the team to winning ways following a challenging season. However, the club might adopt a more patient and long-term strategy for their next coaching choice. President De Laurentiis has long been an admirer of Vincenzo Italiano.
Roberto De Zerbi has already taken himself off the market by accepting the position at Tottenham. Nevertheless, Napoli’s interest extends to other coaches with similar profiles and philosophies. These include Francesco Farioli, currently managing Porto, along with Daniele De Rossi and Fabio Grosso, who are both achieving positive results with Genoa and Sassuolo respectively.
