Antonio Cassano predicts that Antonio Conte 'Napoli will leave and seek a winning project', even if they take the scudetto, in the conviction that Juventus, Roma or Milan could hire the coach.
The partenopei had the opportunity to close the gap at the top of the Serie A-Tafel to just one point after Inter was held 2-2 by Parma, but Napoli also failed to get the full points against Bologna, so it remains three points.
In the last seven rounds of a tight race, Cassano has already made a decision about what Conte will do this summer.
Cassano sees the end of the Conte era in Napoli
“I think that after selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Conte was taken away,” said Cassano on Podcast Viva El Futbol.
“You give your best player away and do not sign a replacement, what he does in this club goes much further than that. I think that he will win the scudetto, in June conte she will dump and leave.
“Napoli had an incredible opportunity this season and only played one game a week, the top of the table in January, you can do something even huge than Luciano Spalletti did, and what do you do? You accelerate it.”
Cassano reserved his anger for Napoli president Aurelio de Laurentiis, whom he accused of Penny-Pinching with his players after winning the Serie A title.
“He only wants to be eligible for the Champions League to get money. I think Conte will look for a winning project next season, so that he can try to win real silverwork for real. The only two clubs that can take him into consideration are a return to Juventus or are crazy about Roma. Milan can also be an option, but I think he wants to be an option.”
Conte had taken a time -out in his career after he had terminated the contract with Tottenham Hotspur early and came back to Napoli last summer.
There are repeated rumors that he could ask to be released by Napoli at the end of this season, because there is no release clause in the contract, so that in theory he could simply walk away by giving up excellent wages.
