Napoli head coach Antonio Conte said he will leave his post after the end of the season.

An Italian specialist explained the reasons for this decision.

“After the match with Bologna I felt certain things that I didn’t like and you need to have the courage to talk about it openly. I have never spent and never intend to spend gray seasons. I was even ready to leave on my own. Some newcomers did not find a common language with the veterans, very complex internal processes arose, and it was right to talk about them.

I was lucky to meet a team with whom we were able to talk honestly and clarify everything. We told each other that we had to row in the same boat against the wind, and we started all over again.. A month ago I called the president, didn't want to discuss anything and told him that given our friendship, I felt that my journey here was coming to an end. The decision has already been made by me.

At Napoli I failed in one thing - I failed to unite the club. And if this is not the case, it is very difficult to fight with other teams. I've seen too much poison and those who spread it are losers. I failed precisely in this and realized that I would never be able to unite the atmosphere around the club, and for me this was fundamentally important. I take responsibility, as I always did for the club, and this was extremely important for me. I take responsibility, as always,"

Recall that Conte has led Napoli since the summer of 2024 and last season led the team to the championship and also won the Italian Super Cup.

This season, the Neapolitans finished in second place in the Serie A table with 76 points, 11 points behind champions Inter..

Earlier it was reported that changes are brewing in Napoli on the coaching bridge.
