Former Juve and AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri is set to take over at Napoli after former Italy boss Antonio Conte left the Partenopei earlier this week, sources said Thursday.
    They said a deal was ready for a two-year contract for the Livorno-born tactician.
    AC Milan sacked Allegri after a slump in form saw them fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.
    Napoli confirmed Monday that Conte is leaving them after two years in charge, with posts on their social-media profiles saying goodbye with a thank you.
    Conte, who led the Naples side to their fourth Serie A title last season, the Italian Super Cup in December and a second-placed finish this term, has been linked to a return to the Italy bench, among other things Allegri, 58, has also coached Cagliari..
