The 56-year-old Conte, who guided Napoli to the Serie A title in the 2024-2025 season, is widely touted as the favorite to take over as Italy coach.
The former Italy international previously coached the national team between 2014 and 2016 and took the country to the quarter-finals of the 2016 European Championship, where they lost to Germany on penalties.
Napoli are said to be in advanced talks with Allegri, 58, who was sacked as AC Milan coach after missing out on next season’s Champions League.
