Roberto De Zerbi is emerging as a potential candidate for Napoli after leaving Brighton, despite no interest from Milan and denials from Bayern Munich directors. De Zerbi’s departure from Brighton was officially announced, effective after their final Premier League game against Manchester United. While his background with Milan might suggest a fit, he is not on their candidate list. Additionally, Bayern Munich’s director Max Eberl has denied the possibility of an Italian coach taking over. However, some Italian sources indicate that De Zerbi could be the secret candidate for Napoli as talks with Antonio Conte continue. This would be a return for De Zerbi, who has a history with Napoli both as a player and a coach, and his preferred 4-3-3 formation aligns with Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis’s vision.
