Napoli coach Antonio Conte sent a warning to Kevin De Bruyne.

British media Sports Bible reported on the 1st (Korea time) 'Conte provided The Bruyne with a list of rules to follow as a warning.'

The Bruyne was reborn as the world's best midfielder wearing a Manchester City (England) uniform. He won 19 trophies including the English Premier League (EPL) as a member of Manchester City. The Bruyne parted ways with Manchester City at the end of the 2024-2025 season. Interest in him was hot. The Bruyne made a surprise move to Napoli. He challenged Italy's Serie A stage.




The Bruyne was full of discontent in Italy's Serie A away match against AC Milan in the 2025-2026 season on 29 September. The Bruyne, who started the day, scored a chasing goal in the 15th minute of the second half when his team was losing 0-2. However, he was replaced by Elif Elmas in the 27th minute of the second half and retired to the bench. He was clearly frustrated. Leaving the ground, he complained to the bench.

Sportsbible said `The Bruyne's action against AC Milan was a public display of discontent. According to local Italian media, Conte did not speak to The Bruyne. Instead, he talked to the entire team about what he expected to do.'

Citing a report by Italian media Corriere dello Sport, the media warned his team that such behavior would only be tolerated once. De Bruyne added that he had heard this but did not respond.




Conte responded to The Bruyne's actions after the game, saying, `I hope he was annoyed by the result. If you were annoyed by something else, you were dealing with the wrong person."

This is shocking. When Conte led Tottenham in the past, he told Son Heung-min (LAFC) that "Son Heung-min is a good person. If I have to find my daughter's husband, I will choose someone like Son Heung-min."
