Despite the rumors, Conte decided to stay at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium for at least another season. In an interview with Sky Italia, Conte clarified that there was no agreement with Juventus for him to return to the club.

He expressed his frustration with the media's portrayal of the situation, stating that he had not made any decisions about leaving Napoli until he spoke with the club's president, De Laurentiis. Conte emphasized that he would not discuss any potential moves with anyone until he had spoken with the president.
