Conte Takes Charge At Napoli On Three-Year Contract
Antonio Conte has been appointed as the new manager of Napoli.
The 54-year-old has signed a three-year contract at his new club.
Napoli went through three managers last season as a disappointing title defence ended in a 10th place finish in Serie A.
Conte had been out of work since leaving Tottenham Hotspurs in March last year.
He has won four Serie A titles in the past; three with Juventus and one with Inter Milan.
Conte also won the Premier League and FA Cup during two seasons in charge of Chelsea.
Club president Aurelio De Laurentiis said: "I am very proud that the new coach of Napoli is Antonio Conte.
"Antonio is a top coach, a leader, with whom I am sure that the necessary refoundation will start after the conclusion of the cycle that led us to win the Scudetto last year after many seasons at the top of Italian football.
"Today marks the beginning of a new important chapter in the history of Napoli."
Conte, meanwhile, told the club's website: "Napoli is a place of global importance. I'm happy and excited to sit on the Azzurri bench.
"I can certainly promise one thing: I will do my best for the growth of the team and the club. My commitment, together with that of my staff, will be total."
