Napoli manager Antonio Conte is reportedly set for a shock departure from the club just days after guiding them to their fourth Serie A title, according to Sky Italia.

The Partenopei secured the Scudetto with a 2-0 victory over Cagliari, finishing ahead of rivals Inter Milan in the title race. While celebrations are planned with an open-top bus parade across Naples on Monday, the jubilation might be short-lived as reports emerge about Conte's future.

Following the team's scheduled meeting with Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday, Conte is expected to hold crucial talks with Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis and the club's board regarding his future. Sources close to the situation suggest that the Italian tactician will not continue with the club despite this season's success.

In anticipation of Conte's potential departure, Napoli have reportedly identified former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri as their preferred replacement. The new appointment would inherit a championship-winning squad with ambitions to defend their Serie A title and make a significant impact in the Champions League next season.

Conte's potential exit comes as a surprise given his immediate success at the club. The former Chelsea and Inter Milan manager has built a reputation for delivering league titles but has often had challenging relationships with club hierarchies regarding transfer policies and long-term vision.

The situation will likely develop further after Tuesday's meeting at the Vatican, with Napoli fans anxiously awaiting news about the future direction of their newly-crowned champions.
