Official: Victor Osimhen gets Antonio Conte as new Napoli manager

Osimhen, who had a difficult 2023/2024 season and struggled due to injury, finished the campaign with 17 goals in all competitions despite the team's bad performance.

The 2022/2023 Serie A winners then let go of former manager Luciano Spalletti after finishing the season in 10th place.

Napoli have now appointed former Tottenham manager Antonio Conte as the new manager ahead of the new season.

Napoli officially announced Antonio Conte's appointment after several weeks of searching for a new manager.

According to Fabrizio on X, Antonio Conte becomes Napoli’s new manager after signing a three-year contract.

Following the conclusion of the Serie A season, Conte had advanced talks with Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of Napoli.

The negotiation entered its final stage last week before agreeing on a deal with the club to become the new manager.

Conte's new appointment may mean that Osimhen will likely stay at the club despite being linked with a move to top clubs in Europe.

The Super Eagles star has had several offers from European clubs, including a reported swap deal with Chelsea, which has been ruled out.

However, Conte has yet to address Osimhen’s transfer rumours, with his future yet to be decided by the player and the club.
