REPORT: ANTONIO CONTE ‘OPEN’ TO JUVENTUS RETURN DESPITE SPURS TURN AROUND
Tottenham head coach, Antonio Conte has been linked to a sensational return to Juventus, and he is reportedly “open” to the move should Juve sack under-fire manager Max Allegri.
Only two victories have been recorded by Allegri in seven Serie A games this year.
The Serie A giants are thought to be encouraged by the fact Conte has yet to extend his Spurs deal beyond next summer.
After qualifying for the Champions League, the 53-year-old has led Tottenham to third place in the Premier League this season.
The Italian claimed in August that he was happy with Spurs and would stay for the long term provided they kept making good progress.
Conte said: “I didn’t need to sign contracts for one, two or three years.
“I’m happy. We’re working really well together. It’s not that one year on the contract more or less can change the situation.
“For sure we want to continue to improve, to build something important for this club.
“If the idea continues to be in this way, there will be zero problems to continue my life in Tottenham because I stay well and I like this group of players and I have a good relationship with [managing director, Fabio] Paratici and with [chairman] Daniel Levy.”
Nonetheless, Italian publication Il Bianco Nero claims Conte, who has been spotted in Turin, relaxing during the international break, would not rule out going back to Juventus, where he won three titles from 2011 to 2014.
