Former Chelsea and Juventus boss, Antonio Conte has been appointed by Serie A club Napoli as their new manager.
The 54-year-old has not been in a job since he left Tottenham Hotspur by mutual consent in March 2023 after 16 months in charge.
“Napoli is a place of global importance. I am happy and excited at the idea of sitting on the blue bench,” Conte said, who guided Inter Milan to their first Serie A title in 11 years back in 2021.

“I can certainly promise one thing, I will do my utmost for the growth of the team and the club. My commitment, together with that of my staff, it will be total.”
Conte has had a decorated coaching career after winning the Premier League in his first season at Chelsea (2016-17) and the FA Cup in his second before being sacked in 2018.
The Italian also guided a dominant Juventus to three Serie A titles in a row between 2011-2014.
Napoli, who won Serie A for first time in 33 years last year, finished in 10th place in the topflight in the just-concluded season.
