Napoli Announces Allegri As New Manager

Masimillano Allegri

Napoli have officially confirmed the appointment of Massimiliano Allegri as their new head coach following his departure from AC Milan. He steps into the dugout to replace Antonio Conte, and fans have been reacting.

Publishing a celebratory press release on their digital channels, Napoli highlighted the manager’s historic journey from his humble early coaching roots to becoming a dominant force in Serie A.

The club added that Allegri’s experience and expertise will aid Napoli’s improvement after an underwhelming season.

It read, “Napoli would like to welcome Massimiliano Allegri as our new first team head coach. Allegri has signed a contract with the club until 30 June 2029.

After a long playing career – which included a stint with Napoli during the 1997-98 season – Max Allegri began his coaching journey in the 2003-04 campaign with Aglianese. In 2007-08, he led Sassuolo to their first-ever promotion to Serie B and also won the Serie C1 Super Cup that same year. A few months later, he made his Serie A coaching debut with Cagliari, finishing the season in ninth place and winning the Panchina d’Oro award.

In 2010, he joined Milan, winning the club’s 18th Scudetto and sixth Italian Super Cup. From 2014 to 2019, he managed Juventus, winning five consecutive league titles, four consecutive Coppa Italia trophies and two Italian Super Cups. During this period he also led the Bianconeri to the Champions League final twice. After a two-year hiatus, he went back to manage Juventus, winning his fifth Coppa Italia in 2024. Last season, he was back in the dugout at Milan, finishing the campaign in fifth place.

A big welcome to our new head coach Max Allegri!”
