He was spectacularly sacked by Milan after failing to qualify for the Champions League, but Max Allegri barely gets a week off, having been De Laurentiis's choice to succeed Antonio Conte. Ironically, Allegri will play in the Champions League next season, a gift from Conte before he left.

At first, there was a lot of talk that Vincenzo Italiano would be the coach of Napoli, but in the end De Laurentiis chose Allegri, a coach with whom he had negotiated a year ago, when there was talk of Conte's departure. For the former Milan coach, a contract until 2028 and 5 million euros per season is ready. Asked about this move, Allegri dribbled by answering: "Remove it as news", he said briefly, smiling.

With this issue seemingly closed, only the official announcement is expected, the Italian media have started making hints trying to understand what the new Napoli will be with Allegri on the bench. The former Milan coach is expected to play with the 4-3-3 scheme to take advantage of the many wing and quality attackers that Napoli has at its disposal. The weight of the attack will be carried by Hojlund, a player that Allegri highly values, and he asked for it when he sat on the Milan bench.

Regarding the upcoming transfer window, Allegri is expected to deal with his own sucker, Rabiot, while he could also have a determining role in Vlahovic's future, with the Serb potentially joining him for free in this adventure in Naples.
