Allegri warns Napoli players that his instructions cannot be ignored

Published on: 17 October 2026

Massimiliano Allegri has made it clear that nobody at Napoli can disregard his instructions, despite playing down the situation involving Kevin De Bruyne before the match against Venezia.

Speaking at his pre-match news conference, Allegri sought to reduce the significance of the issue surrounding the Belgium international. However, according to Tuttosport, the Napoli manager has established a clear standard of behaviour within the squad and will not tolerate players failing to follow it.

De Bruyne has been a Napoli player since 2025, while Allegri took charge of the club in 2026.
