Despite having a contract with Napoli until June 2027, Antonio Conte’s future remains a topic of speculation. Reports indicate that the Italian coach could potentially leave the club this summer if he chooses, which has piqued the interest of both AC Milan and Juventus.

Conte, who took a break from coaching after his stint at Tottenham Hotspur, returned to Serie A to lead Napoli in their pursuit of the Scudetto. Currently, Napoli sits just three points behind league leaders Inter Milan. However, rumors persist about Conte being targeted by other Italian clubs for the upcoming season, with Milan and a possible return to Juventus being the most prominent options.

Conte’s Contract Flexibility

According to sources, Conte’s contract with Napoli does not include a buyout clause. This absence of a specific termination fee means that, under Italian regulations, Conte could potentially resign from his position without financial penalties, forfeiting any future wages.

On the other hand, if Napoli were to dismiss Conte, he would have the right to appeal and demand continued salary payments until a mutual agreement is reached or the contract is officially terminated.

While Napoli maintains that there is no reason to doubt Conte’s commitment for the next season, the final decision ultimately rests with the coach himself. This situation has kept both Milan and Juventus on alert, as they consider their options for future managerial appointments.
