Massimiliano Allegri Officially Appointed Napoli Head Coach Until 2029

Massimiliano Allegri, one of Italy's most decorated football managers, has been officially appointed as the new head coach of Napoli as of July 3, 2026. He replaces Antonio Conte, who left after two years in charge. Allegri, 58, signed a contract extending until 2029 and is expected to earn around 4.5 million euros per season.

Allegri's playing career spanned 19 years, including stints at Livorno, Pescara, Perugia, and one season at Napoli. His early coaching career involved managing smaller clubs such as Aglianese, SPAL, Grosseto, Sassuolo, and Cagliari. In 2010, he took over as AC Milan's coach and won the Serie A title in his first season, finishing six points ahead of city rivals Inter Milan.

After four years at Milan, Allegri became Juventus' head coach in 2014. During five seasons with Juventus, he secured five consecutive Serie A titles from 2014/15 to 2018/19 and won four Coppa Italia trophies. He left Juventus in May 2019 but returned in 2021 for another three-year stint, winning the 2023/24 Coppa Italia. Last season, Allegri coached AC Milan to a fifth-place finish with 70 points, 17 points behind champions Inter.

Overall, Allegri has won six Serie A championships, five Coppa Italia titles, and three Italian Super Cups, establishing himself as one of the top figures in Italian football coaching.
