[인터풋볼] Reporter Daesik Kim = The fact that Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is living alone in England also emerged as a variable in his move to Juventus.
Recently, Conte has been linked with his former club Juventus. Italian transfer market expert Paolo Barziza reported on his personal SNS on the 15th (Korea time), “Juventus may consider Conte if they sack Allegri. This is why Conte does not renew his contract with Tottenham Hotspur.” .
The British ‘Evening Standard’ reported on the 23rd (Korean time), “It remains to be seen whether Juventus’ interest in Conte is serious, but the charm of a Juventus move should not be underestimated. Conte said 8 years ago when he left Juventus that he had ‘unfinished’ work to do.”
He also described two reasons why Conte could be swayed by Juventus’ temptation. First of all, it was the fact that Conte was living the life of a goose father. The media said, “Conte’s wife and daughter still live in Turin, Italy. Conte is in a particularly difficult situation, so returning to Italy for personal reasons would be attractive.”
It is also the love Conte has for Juventus. Conte was a Juventus legend when he was a player, and he is also a legend as a manager. He is also the creator of Juventus today. Before Conte took the helm, Juventus were going through a very dark time.
However, after Conte took office, he succeeded in a great revival. After winning the league championship with an undefeated win from his first season, he announced the revival of Juventus with his third consecutive league loss. Although they broke up due to feuds with the board, Conte has a strong affection for Juventus.
‘Evening Standard’ also analyzed, “It will be a clear attraction for Conte to bring Serie A supremacy to Juventus, which he started and finished, and to improve the record in European competitions.”
Even so, Conte’s move to Juventus right now is unrealistic. It is unsettling that Conte is on his contract until this season, but Conte is concentrating on his role at Tottenham. Alessdair Gold, a reporter for Football London, reported on the 23rd that “Tottenham have the option to extend Conte’s contract at any time.”
