Former Torino manager Gianluca Petrachi has discussed the possibility of Antonio Conte returning to Juventus amid rumors the Bianconeri want him back.
Conte is one of the most successful Italian managers in the world now and currently manages Tottenham in the Premier League.
However, his contract expires at the end of this season and he has so far been reluctant to extend his contract with the Premier League side.
This has encouraged Juventus to include him on their list of managers who could replace Max Allegri, but will he accept a return to the club?
Petrachi tells Football Italia:
“He knows the environment, and his culture and winning mentality have always made him stand out.
“However, Conte would think ten times before making such a decision. [returning to Juventus]. He is a pragmatic person, and he would consider the options that the club gives him, also financially.
“Antonio is a modern coach, he is not from the past and he showed it last season. He made Inter win after many years, also with an important transfer activity ”.
Juve FC says
Conte has managed Juve before and knows many of the club’s officials, which should make it easier for him to return.
However, the former player has barely settled at a club and is likely to push Juve too hard to become their next boss.
Allegri is doing well at the moment and is likely to remain the club’s manager for the foreseeable future.
