Antonio Conte has been appointed as coach of Napoli.

Conte is a former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager and will be at the club for three years.

The 54-year-old has not managed since he left Spurs by mutual consent in March 2023 after 16 months in charge.

Despite a disappointing time in North London, Conte has had a decorated coaching career after winning the Premier League in his first season at Chelsea (2016-17) and the FA Cup in his second before being sacked in 2018.

“Napoli is a place of global importance. I am happy and excited at the idea of sitting on the blue bench,” Conte said.

“I can certainly promise one thing, I will do my utmost for the growth of the team and the club. My commitment, together with that of my staff, it will be total.”
