Amorim lands Milan and Allegri heads to Napoli as Serie A's dugouts reshuffle
Main stories
AC Milan confirmed Rúben Amorim as their new head coach, the Portuguese signing a two-year deal with the option of a further year after leaving Manchester United, according to ESPN. The 41-year-old takes over from July, beginning what the club has framed as a wider overhaul at San Siro.
Napoli are set to replace the departed Antonio Conte with Massimiliano Allegri, with CBS Sports reporting an agreement on a two-year contract and an official announcement expected imminently once Allegri's paperwork is finalised. Conte left the reigning champions by mutual consent at the end of last season.
Conte himself is tipped to take over the Italy national team, with Football Italia reporting the former Napoli coach as the frontrunner to succeed Gennaro Gattuso; the move is reported rather than confirmed. Separately, Rafael Leão signalled his desire to leave Milan this summer, the Portugal forward — under contract until 2028 — drawing Premier League interest, per Goal, though no transfer has been agreed.
Transfer and squad notes
Inter's pursuit of Atalanta right-back Marco Palestra reached a decisive stage, with the Nerazzurri reported by Sky Sport Italia to be matching Atalanta's valuation of around €50m; the deal is advanced but not yet official.
Napoli agreed personal terms with Lazio centre-back Mario Gila on a contract to 2031, according to OneFootball, but no fee has been settled, with Lazio seeking €25–30m and Real Madrid entitled to a share of any profit; treat the move as in negotiation.
Juventus, meanwhile, are weighing outgoings, with Andrea Cambiaso a target for Chelsea — Juventus valuing the full-back at around €40m against a lower offer — per Italian transfer coverage on June 22; the talks remain reported.
What it means for the league
Serie A's summer has been reshaped from the dugout out: Amorim's arrival at Milan, Allegri's switch to Napoli and Conte's likely move to the Italy job amount to a managerial merry-go-round that will dictate each club's recruitment. Leão's wanted exit points to a rebuild at Milan under Amorim, while Inter, Napoli and Juventus press on with squad business — Palestra, Gila and possible sales — that is still taking shape. With much of it tied to the World Cup calendar, several of these moves will only formalise once the tournament ends.
