Kevin De Bruyne welcomes Antonio Conte's Napoli exit, Stellini reacts

Kevin De Bruyne said the departure of Antonio Conte from Napoli is a good development for him. Cristian Stellini, Conte's assistant at Napoli, reacted sharply to those remarks.

De Bruyne explained that he and Conte held different visions on football. He added that he is happy Conte is leaving.

Stellini described the comments as hitting him in the wrong throat. He stated, "Professionalism means you always set a good example."

Antonio Conte is the head coach of Napoli. Cristian Stellini serves as his assistant coach at the club.

The interview was given to a newspaper on Saturday. De Bruyne's remarks were made without reference to any other party.

Napoli has not issued a response to Stellini's comments. The situation may influence future interactions between De Bruyne and Napoli staff.
