In a difficult situation in the Saudi Pro League with Al-Ittihad even if the team is still in the race in Asian C1, especially since the departure of Karim Benzema, Sérgio Conceição is already attracting attention on the European market. According to our information, the 51-year-old Portuguese coach is on the books of two major Serie A clubs: Napoli and Lazio. Indeed, his experienced profile continues to appeal, and a departure cannot be ruled out in the coming months.
It must be said that the Portuguese technician has a solid CV. Briefly spent by FC Nantes in Ligue 1, he above all established himself as a reference on the bench of FC Porto between 2017 and 2024, where he had a string of successes and developed a strong playing identity. More recently, his stint with AC Milan during the 2024-2025 season allowed him to discover Serie A, an element which can also explain the interest of Naples and Lazio. A return to Italy thus appears to be a credible option for a coach recognized for his high standards and high-level experience.
