According to reports from Italy, Napoli are interested in appointing Antonio Conte as their new manager this summer if Maurizio Sarri opts to join Chelsea.
It’s claimed by Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, as cited by Football Italia, that a sensational ‘swap’ deal could occur in the summer as Chelsea prepare to up their interest in Sarri.
The Napoli boss has performed well in Serie A over the last two seasons and it seems with Conte set to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, Sarri is a target for the Blues.
However, the Chelsea boss could well walk into a new role, filling the potential void which Sarri may leave by departing Napoli.
The Serie A title-chasers have been linked with a number of different managers as they make contingency plans in preparations for Sarri’s potential departure, and it seems Conte heads up this managerial shortlist.
It’s stated that Conte would be open to a return to management in Italy, indicating that a shock move to Napoli is not out of the question yet.
