Former Manchester United<\/a> duo Scott McTominay and Rasmus Hojlund are set for a major change at Napoli after Antonio Conte’s departure from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Former Juventus and AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri has reportedly agreed a deal to take over from Conte at Napoli.<\/p>\n

The 58-year-old was sacked by AC Milan after failing to qualify for the Champions League<\/a>, but won’t have to wait long before returning to the dugout.<\/p>\n

Allegri will reportedly sign a two-year deal as Conte’s successor, according to Sky Sports, but the move hasn’t gone down well with Napoli fans.<\/p>\n

Some Gli Azzurri supporters are not happy with the appointment and have launched an online campaign to protest the decision.<\/p>\n

They claim Allegri’s managerial profile does not align with the club’s vision, having last won the Serie A title in 2018 with Juventus.<\/p>\n

Despite a plethora of Italian titles, Allegri’s recent spell at Milan turned sour, and there’s been a complete overhaul at the Italian club since his departure.<\/p>\n

McTominay has been one of the standout performers in Serie A since his move to Napoli from United<\/a> in 2024, helping the club win the Serie A title in his first season.<\/p>\n

His fine form in Italy has seen transfer speculation surface, linking the Scottish international with a return to the Premier League<\/a> and Conte’s departure will only fuel those rumours further.<\/p>\n

McTominay was joined by former United teammate, Hojlund, in Italy last season, but the duo were not able to help the club defend their Serie A title.<\/p>\n

Napoli finished in second place, 11 points behind champions Inter Milan. Hojlund was only on loan with the Serie A club, but his move to southern Italy is set to become a permanent one for \u00a338 million.<\/p>\n

United agreed an obligation-to-buy the Danish forward which would see the move made permanent if Napoli qualified for the Champions League.<\/p>\n

Although the deal has not yet been formally confirmed, Hojlund is expected to complete a move to Napoli in the coming weeks. Conte’s departure from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona should not have an impact on any future transfer.<\/p>\n
