Napoli are finally beginning to progress in pre-season, as new coach Max Allegri arrived ahead of tomorrow’s press conference, while Antonio Vergara has agreed an improved contract.
The Partenopei have been fairly static compared to many of the other Serie A sides so far this summer, as they are forced to sell players before they can bring any more in.

They were also urged to wait until recently to finally announce Allegri as their coach, as first he had to terminate his existing contract with Milan after his sudden dismissal.
The tactician arrived in Naples this evening and he will be presented to the media at the historic Teatro San Carlo on Tuesday at 11.30 local time.

Meanwhile, multiple sources including Sky Sport Italia and Fabrizio Romano all confirm that today Napoli agreed a contract extension with Vergara.

It will be an improved salary for the youth academy product, and run to June 2031.
The 23-year-old creative midfielder and winger had been on the verge of an exit on loan last season, but ended up having a starring role due to the injury crisis reducing other options.
