Antonio Cassano Predicts Massimiliano Allegri Fiorentina Move
Antonio Cassano publicly forecasted a future managerial transition for Massimiliano Allegri on November 10, 2026, tipping the current Napoli coach to eventually join Fiorentina. The forecast arrives as Napoli sits 14 points adrift of Serie A league leaders Lazio following a recent 1-1 draw.
Cassano Questions Napoli Authority Amid Allegri Scrutiny
The mounting pressure at Napoli follows consecutive defeats to Juventus and Porto alongside a training ground visit from club president Aurelio De Laurentiis. Cassano directed severe criticism toward the coaching structure on the digital show Viva El Futbol, highlighting a stark discrepancy between wage bills and on-pitch results.

club“He keeps making a mess of things, but nobody says anything and nobody sacks him,” Cassano stated on Viva El Futbol. “He says things that make no sense and doesn’t manage his squad. It’s a scandal to see such a big points gap between Lazio and Napoli when you think about the two wage bills.”
Fiorentina currently operates under manager Paolo Vanoli while fighting to stay clear of the relegation zone in the Italian top flight. Despite past administrative friction during their shared history at Juventus, where the duo secured five consecutive league titles, Cassano insisted that sporting director Fabio Paratici will ultimately offer Allegri a lifeline in Florence.
“Allegri’s time has passed, and it has been for at least seven or eight years. He doesn’t win any more,” Cassano added. “But don’t worry, after the flop at Napoli someone else will give him another chance, and I bet it’ll be Fabio Paratici. Trust me, it’ll definitely happen.”
