Napoli arrive top on 12 points with Milan three behind, putting early weight on the Serie A race.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 20:45 local time at San Siro, with Allegri on the Milan bench and Conte leading Napoli.
  • This is their first managerial meeting since October 6, 2013; Conte is unbeaten in seven of their nine clashes and won the last three.
  • Conte’s champions have opened with four league wins and have not lost in Serie A since February, while Allegri’s Milan trail by three points and have kept four straight clean sheets in recent matches.
  • Across the last 15 Serie A seasons the pair have collected 11 scudetti, underscoring the pedigree behind this touchline reunion.
  • Reporting in late May described a near‑swap for the Napoli job as Aurelio De Laurentiis held talks with Allegri while awaiting Conte’s decision, after which Conte stayed at Napoli and Milan appointed Allegri.
