Conte arrived in Rome earlier that day. According to Sky Sport Italia, the finalization of the contract involved important discussions about image rights. The contract is reportedly valued at €6.5 million per season, with additional bonuses. It spans three years and does not include a release clause.

This appointment makes him the team’s fifth manager in just over a year, following a season of turmoil for the deposed Serie A champion.
Conte, a league title winner in both England and Italy, had been away from the dugout for over a year after leaving Tottenham by mutual consent in March 2023.
His departure followed a post-match rant against his players and club ownership. Napoli, which lifted its first Serie A trophy in more than three decades in 2023, is now looking to rebuild under Conte’s leadership.
