Official: Massimiliano Allegri is Napoli's new manager

SSC Napoli have officially announced the signing of Massimiliano Allegri as the new head coach of the first team. The Italian manager has signed a long-term contract that will keep him at the southern Italian club until June 30, 2029.

With this move, Allegri returns to a club he already knows well, having worn the Napoli shirt as a player during the 1997/98 season. Now, he takes on the challenge from the dugout after his most recent spell at Milan, where he finished last season’s league campaign in fifth place.

The Livorno-born coach’s career is backed by an enviable list of achievements in Italian football. His résumé includes six Serie A titles (five with Juventus and one with Milan), five Coppa Italia trophies and three Supercoppa titles, as well as reaching two Champions League finals.

With this appointment, the Neapolitan club hopes to regain the stability and winning mentality that Allegri has shown throughout his career. His top-flight managerial debut came at Cagliari, after achieving a historic promotion with Sassuolo.

‘Max’ Allegri’s arrival at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium promises to shake up Italian football. The board has full confidence in his experience to lead this new long-term project and bring the club back into the fight for trophies.
