Antonio Conte he can’t wait to get back to coaching, he’s excited as his deputy Stellini reported a few hours ago, even more so given that he knows there are teams willing to please him. Among these, it is now known, in the front row is the Napoli since it’s the ball of Aurelio de Laurentiis which is evaluating every aspect of an operation that would restore enthusiasm to the environment and would be an important building block to quickly rebuild everything beautiful that was destroyed after last season’s championship. According to Alfredo Pedullà this desire came true last Saturday, in a meeting between Naples and Conte where we talked about figures (salary of 6.5-7 million plus 2 bonus): we are not yet at the final stage but it is a significant step for AdL’s ambitions.
