Overview
- The club confirmed the hire on Friday when Aurelio De Laurentiis posted on X and SSC Napoli issued a statement saying Massimiliano Allegri has signed until 30 June 2029.
- Italian outlets report Napoli raised Allegri’s offer to about €5 million net per season for three years to resolve his exit from AC Milan and finalize the move.
- De Laurentiis framed Allegri’s appointment around European pedigree, citing the coach’s roughly 100 Champions League matches compared with Napoli’s 74 total appearances.
- Napoli plans a substantial squad clearout to cut a bloated 47‑player roster and a wage bill that has topped €100 million, with high‑earners such as Kevin De Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku singled out as early issues to resolve.
- The club has scheduled a public presentation in Naples for 14 July, a date timed ahead of preseason tests at Castel Volturno, the Trentino training trip, and the club’s centenary on 1 August.
