Napoli appointed Antonio Conte as their new head coach on a three-year contract on Wednesday.

"Napoli is a club of huge importance on the international stage," Conte said after the signing ceremony.

"I'm happy and excited by the idea of taking my seat in the Napoli dugout. I can certainly promise one thing: I’ll give my all to develop the team and the club. I’m fully committed to the task at hand, as are my staff," he added.

The 54-year-old Conte has also coached Juventus, Chelsea, Inter Milan, and the Italian national team.

He was with Chelsea when they won the 2017 English Premier League and the 2018 FA Cup.

The Italian manager also bagged four Serie A titles; one with Inter Milan in 2021 and three with Juventus in 2012, 2013, and 2014.
