What will happen with Juventus if Conte stays at Napoli

Antonio Conte is seriously considering remaining at Napoli beyond the summer, which means Juventus would stick to Igor Tudor or consider different coaches, including Roberto Mancini.

Juventus are waiting for Conte’s decision on his future with Napoli, but the Partenopei seem increasingly confident of keeping their coach beyond the summer.

The Partenopei have already moved quickly on the transfer front, nearing an agreement with Kevin De Bruyne, who would become the first reinforcement after the 2024-25 title-winning campaign.

Conte is expected to meet De Laurentiis again between Friday and Saturday.

Another suggestion that Conte will remain at the Stadio Maradona is the fact that Massimiliano Allegri, Napoli’s top replacement for Conte, has reportedly agreed to sign for Milan.

So, what happens with Juventus now?

Igor Tudor’s contract was automatically extended to 2026 when the Croatian coach secured a top-four finish last week. Tudor will surely be in charge of the Old Lady for the Club World Cup, but Juventus can terminate the agreement after the summer competition by paying just €1m.

According to Gazzetta, Tudor would naturally have more chances to remain at Juventus if Conte ends up staying at Napoli. However, the Bianconeri could also consider appointing Roberto Mancini, one of their targets in March when Thiago Motta was sacked, as well as Gian Piero Gasperini or Stefano Pioli.

Gasp, however, is already in talks with Roma, and Pioli is the leading candidate to replace him at Atalanta.

In the meantime, Juventus are expected to appoint Damien Comolli as their new CEO, while Giorgio Chiellini is set to join the club’s board of directors, and Cristiano Giuntoli’s future remains uncertain.
