According to Fabrizio Romano — following reports that had already emerged in recent hours from Sky Sport — the coach had communicated his decision to Aurelio De Laurentiis several weeks ago. Despite the farewell now being all but confirmed, relations between the parties have reportedly remained excellent.

At the root of the coach’s decision, there were reportedly no financial issues or friction related to the club’s project, but rather a series of situations that, over the months, had damaged his relationship with the Napoli environment.

As reported by Sky Sport, the main reasons include difficult relations with Napoli’s medical staff, strong disappointment on the coach’s part over the club’s transfer business, and an internal atmosphere at Castel Volturno that had gradually become increasingly tense. 

An important clue had already come in the post-Pisa press conference, when the coach admitted he had already communicated his decision to De Laurentiis. Conte will take charge of Napoli for the last time on Sunday at 18:00 against Udinese at the Maradona, before officially bringing his spell on the Azzurri bench to a close.

Romano also points out that, at the moment, Conte does not have any agreement with other clubs. Napoli must now find a replacement (HERE ARE THE MAIN CANDIDATES).
