Napoli call Mancini after Conte, ex-Italy boss snubs Al Sadd for Europe | OneFootball

Conte's position as Napoli's coach seems to be at high risk given the latest statements from the Lecce-born coach, who, during the post-match interview after the 2-0 loss to Bologna, expressed concern about the situation the Azzurri are experiencing. In the coming hours, there will be a meeting between the former Chelsea and Inter coach and Napoli's management to understand if and how they can continue together.

Napoli, a call to Mancini for after Conte? The former coach rejects Al Sadd while waiting for Europe

Meanwhile, even though it is objectively premature, it is right to start considering all possibilities to find the ideal coach for the potential post-Conte era, in case this meeting reveals the impossibility of continuing the relationship between the coach and the club. With Palladino almost signing as Atalanta's coach, the best names still available and looking for a team seem to be Thiago Motta, whose agent, however, does not have a great relationship with De Laurentiis, the president of the Azzurri, and Roberto Mancini, former national team coach of Italy and Saudi Arabia.

Just recently, Mancini seems to have definitively rejected the offer from Al Sadd, the Qatari club, as the former Inter and Zenit coach is waiting for a call from a European club, the continent where he wants to return to coaching. Has a call been made to keep him ready in case of a departure between Napoli and Conte? As mentioned, it's too early to say, but in life, you never know.
