The Chelsea manager was linked with the Serie A side, however, his demands proved too much for for the club's boss to deal with
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis said he opted for Carlo Ancelotti over Antonio Conte as the former Bayern Munich manager did not push for signings like the Chelsea boss.
Ancelotti replaced Maurizio Sarri on a three-year deal last week – the veteran tactician returning to Serie A for the first time since leaving AC Milan in 2009.
Conte, who is reportedly set to be replaced by Sarri at Stamford Bridge, was also in talks with De Laurentiis, however, his demands proved too much for the Napoli owner.
