It’s been over a year since Antonio Conte left Tottenham Hotspur, and it seems he could be now close to accepting a new job.
CalcioNapoli24 today reports the offer made by Napoli to land him, with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis making a huge effort for his arrival.
It’s claimed that Conte is the one ‘chosen’ by the club chief, and claims made by Emmanuele Cammaroto on NapoliMagazine bring some more details about it.
“De Laurentiis, it appears, would be ready to make an extraordinary offer for Conte, €8m, with the option for a third season in which the salary could then rise by around €400-500k. On the bonus table to the achievement of the objectives but above all carte blanche on the market, the keys to the locker room and the sharing in the introduction of the final indication for the appointment of the sporting director.
“Conte thinks about it, he is strongly tempted. Clear and precise signals are arriving in this direction. At present, a refusal would be much more surprising than a possible yes.”
Antonio Conte took charge of Tottenham in February 2021, and he stayed until March 2023. In the 76 games he had in charge of the club, he had 41 wins, 12 draws and 23 losses.
Napoli have been linked to the coach for a while, as the rumours date back to November, when Rudi Garcia left the club.
Now with the season coming to an end, it seems that bringing Conte in the summer would be a better option, as he’d have more time to build the team. We’ll see if all that money will be enough to convince him to take his first job after Tottenham.
