Conte is no stranger to the national team, having previously managed Italy from 2014 to 2016, leaving a lasting impression with his disciplined and combative style of play. However, a reunion between Conte and the Italian national team is facing significant financial obstacles.
According to numerous sources in Italy, the 56-year-old strategist receives a salary of approximately 6.5 million euros per year at Napoli, not including bonuses that significantly increase his total income. This figure far exceeds the Italian Football Federation's ability to pay.
In reality, the compensation for a national team coach is often much lower than that at the club level. Recent Italian coaches have rarely received more than 3 million euros per year. Even during Conte's previous tenure, a portion of his income had to be covered through sponsorship deals.
Therefore, if Conte wants to return to coach the Italian national team, he will almost certainly have to accept a significant salary reduction. This is considered a key factor influencing his decision in the near future, especially since he still has one year left on his contract with Napoli.
Italian football is going through a bleak period after missing out on the World Cup for the third consecutive time. "Azzurri" fans are calling for a complete overhaul of the clubs to help local players develop and become the core of the national team in the future.
