Il Italian football it was the scene of a real missed plot twist: Antonio Conte, a name that evokes winning football strategies, has decided not to accept the offer to lead the Napoli.
While the fans they were already imagining glorious scenarios, Conte threw a bucket of cold water on these expectations.
Let's examine the elements that led to this unexpected decision.
The origins of the possible agreement between De Laurentiis and Conte
Everything seemed ready for a historic agreement. De Laurentiis, president of the Neapolitan team e known for his bold moves, had identified in Antonio Conte the ideal choice for a new direction for Napoli.
The coach, with a track record that needs no introduction, would bring new energy and lofty ambitions to the club.
The post on Instagram to communicate the refusal
When you least expect it, the curtain closes. Conte has chosen the virtual arena of Instagram to share his decision with the world. An essential but meaningful message that immediately made the rounds on social media.
It was clear: his life, at this stage, demands different attentions, distant from the football we all know.
The reasons for Conte's refusal
It was neither a question of budget nor one of football strategy. They were strictly personal reasons to induce Conte to decline the offer. After a period of intense pressures and commitments in London, the coach decided to take a break, to concentrate on personal and family well-being.
And this, in a world often dominated by contracts and titles, is a reason as rare as it is respectable.
