Overview
- Conte told organisers at the Festival dello Sport this week that he is on holiday and is 'still enjoying my vacation' and the chance to rest and relax.
- In a recent interview with The Athletic he said he wants to manage a club that has 'somewhat lost sight of their history' and would consider an in‑season appointment 'if it’s worth it'.
- Media outlets report renewed links between Conte and Manchester United because United have won one of five league games so far this season and face pressure on manager Michael Carrick.
- Juventus have publicly backed Luciano Spalletti and face reported revenue shortfalls after missing the Champions League, which makes Conte’s immediate return to Juve less likely.
- Conte’s record of rapid title wins in Italy and England makes him an obvious fix for troubled giants but his history of intense, short tenures and clashes with boards means any club would need to grant clear authority and a defined plan.
