Antonio Conte\u2019s future at Napoli is under renewed scrutiny as he prepares for crucial talks with club president Aurelio De Laurentiis.
Although the Italian coach is content in Naples, his long-term stay hinges on reaching an agreement over the club’s sporting direction.
The former Chelsea manager, known for resisting compromise, wants full control over first-team decisions without interference.
Reports indicate he was frustrated earlier this season by limited backing, particularly after his public criticism of refereeing decisions, while promised infrastructure upgrades have yet to be delivered. Still, Conte may overlook those issues if clearer boundaries are set.
De Laurentiis, however, has his own conditions. He wants the wage bill reduced, consistent Champions League qualification, and improved progress in Europe. The president is also planning a squad refresh, targeting five new signings ahead of next season.
