Aurelio De Laurentiis, the president of Napoli, has indicated that he would not obstruct Antonio Conte from taking the vacant Italy national team coaching position if he expressed a desire to do so. Conte, who led Italy from 2014 to 2016, mentioned that he should be considered for the role following Gennaro Gattuso's resignation after Italy's failure to qualify for the World Cup for a third consecutive time. Currently, Conte's contract with Napoli extends until 2027, and the team is seven points behind Serie A leaders Inter with seven matches remaining in the season. Conte stated, 'If I was the federation’s president, I would consider my name,' highlighting his interest in the national team position. De Laurentiis expressed his support for Conte, stating, 'If Conte asked me to allow him to become the national team coach again, I would say yes.' However, he acknowledged the current disorganization within the federation, which is without a president following Gabriele Gravina's resignation. The new coach for Italy will be named after the federation's extraordinary meeting scheduled for June 22.
