Antonio Conte, who once coached Son Heung-min, has taken over as manager of Napoli, Italy.

Napoli announced on its website on the 5th (local time), "Conte has become Napoli's new manager."

The contract period is three years until June 2027.

Coach Conte said of his appointment, "Napoli is a place of global importance. I am happy and excited to be sitting on the

Blue Bench. I will do my best for the growth of the team and the club. I will do my best together with my staff."

Italian coach Conte is back in charge of the Italian club after three years.

Coach Conte is a famous coach who led Juventus to three consecutive Serie A titles from 2011 to 2014.

He then coached the Italian national team and Chelsea (England), and led Inter Milan (Italy) from 2019 to 2021.

Since 2021, he has been the manager of Tottenham Hotspur and has coached Son Heung-min, making him a familiar

name to Korean fans.

He has been out of action for over a year since stepping down as manager of Tottenham in March 2023 due to poor

performances.

Napoli, which won Serie A for the first time in 33 years in the 2022-2023 season, finished in 10th place in the league in the

2023-2024 season.

The absence of 'iron pillar' Kim Min-jae, who transferred to Bayern Munich (Germany) right after the winning season, is

also cited as a reason for Napoli's 추천 slump.

Napoli suffered a setback in the 2023-2024 season, sacking their manager twice due to poor performances.

Manager Rudi Garcia packed his bags after just five months, and Walter Mazzarri, who led the team from 2009 to 2013,

stepped in as a 'firefighter', but the team's performance plummeted even further.

In the end, manager Francesco Calzona finished the season as the third manager.
