Naples organized a gala evening in Los Angeles, on the occasion of the American premiere of a documentary on the conquest of the fourth Scudetto in 2025. The event, which took place at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, brought together President Aurelio De Laurentiis and Mayor Karen Bass, as well as representatives from the world of sport and entertainment. On the sidelines of the event, the president of Naples spoke to CalcioNapoli24 on the possibility of a return of Antonio Conte at the head of the selection, in particular following the enigmatic comments of the Italian coach after the match against AC Milan. Indeed, the former coach of Chelsea and Inter opened the door at the head of the Nazionale after the departure of Gennaro Gattuso following the defeat in Bosnia for the 2026 World Cup.
“Would I release him if he asked me to come back? I think I would say yes, but he is intelligent and, without a serious interlocutor, he would have difficulty leading a disorganized structure.

Serie A is considered the poor relation, but without us, the federation would not exist: we finance it to the tune of 130 million euros per year. Everything must be reviewed and overhauled, giving the majority to Serie A. Otherwise, we can even consider an independent league. There is too much noise about nothing, we need an agreement with UEFA and FIFA and a more active political presence“. What if Conte did indeed return to the head of the Nazionale? Answer next summer.
