Antonio Conte looks set to leave Napoli after leading the Italian side to the Serie A title, news that is likely to alert any club seeking a top manager. The 55-year-old has previously also led Juventus and Inter to the league title and managed Chelsea to win the 2016-17 Premier League.

Antonio Conte started the season apologizing to the Napoli fans. He is ending it with those same supporters chanting his name. Napoli beat Cagliari 2-0 on Friday, in the final round of Serie A, to see the title return to the southern city.
