Antonio Conte is on the verge of taking the helm at Napoli, pending the resolution of a few remaining details before an official announcement is made.
According to reports from Football Italia, while there's a general agreement on Conte’s salary, negotiations are ongoing regarding image rights and potential penalty fees.
These unresolved matters are expected to be addressed Wednesday, as representatives from Conte's camp and Napoli's directors and lawyers meet to finalize the terms.
Earlier reports by Fabrizio Romano indicated that Conte is set to ink a three-year deal at the Stadio Maradona, which would position him among the top-paid managers in Serie A.
However, one sticking point in the negotiations is Conte's insistence on retaining full control over his image rights, a detail that remains unresolved as talks enter the final stages.
Moreover, discussions are ongoing regarding potential penalty clauses, which would come into effect in the event of early termination of the agreement or failure to meet specific sporting objectives.
