Milan links, Napoli rejection, Chelsea talks – Conte’s future remains an enigma | OneFootball

Antonio Conte is a name that continues to be mentioned regularly in the media given his desire to return to coaching, but it seems he is struggling to find a club who want him.

Conte has been out of work since leaving Spurs around one year ago and he is believed to be ready for a comeback, but several sources have claimed that Milan are not interested in hiring him even if he would not make his usual demands in terms of salary and investment.

Napoli were mentioned as a possible alternative option for Conte, but Radio Kiss Kiss (via Radio Rossonera) are reporting that they have now ‘abandoned’ the idea of hiring the former Juventus and Inter boss.

They even add that Stefano Pioli is in fact one of the main candidates to take over at Napoli now that Conte’s candidacy seems to have faded, perhaps showing that they are going for a stabiliser rather than a revolution.

Meanwhile, La Repubblica are reporting that Chelsea could try to bring Conte back, the club with whom he has already won a Premier League title. The Londoners are in fact inclined to sack Mauricio Pochettino at the end of the season, given the terrible results obtained.

The owners are dreaming big and close contacts with the entourage of Conte have already taken place in the last few hours, even if denials have also come out.
