Conte in Nazionale? De Laurentiis: «He either tells me immediately he wants to go, or…»

The name of former Inter coach Antonio Conte is undoubtedly one of the hottest topics right now for the potential replacement of Gennaro Gattuso as national team manager, following the disappointing performance in Bosnia. This prospect, however, is causing concern for Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis.

The patron of the Neapolitan club, in a recent interview, expressed his thoughts on Conte’s potential move to the national team. De Laurentiis stated that he requires clarity from the coach. «He has to tell me immediately if he wants to go,» De Laurentiis declared, «or else he must remain focused on the project with Napoli.» The president emphasized that any decision regarding Conte’s future must be made swiftly and transparently.

This statement suggests that De Laurentiis is not willing to tolerate any uncertainty surrounding his coach. If Conte harbors aspirations of coaching the national team, the Napoli president wants to know without delay. This would allow Napoli to plan accordingly, whether that means finding a new coach or securing Conte’s commitment to the current season and beyond. The implication is that Conte’s focus should solely be on his duties with Napoli, and any distractions regarding other potential roles would not be accepted.
