‘I Miss Italy’ – Conte Casts Doubt on Chelsea Future

Antonio Conte has cast doubts over his Chelsea future by admitting he missed his native Italy and won’t stay abroad for too long.

Conte, 48, only extended his Chelsea contract in the summer until 2019 after resolving to move wife Elisabetta and daughter Vittoria to England.

And the fiery manager, a long-time target of Serie A giants Inter Milan, said in a recent interview that a move to the San Siro could be next for him, Sun writes.

“I have a longing for Italy, that’s beyond any doubt,” the former Juventus manager said.

“It’s not in my head to stay abroad for too long. It’s good to have beautiful experiences, but I intend to go back to Italy one day.

“China? No, absolutely not. Bundesliga? It’s always difficult to predict the future. Let’s just say that a coach is a temporary worker.

“It depends on the results, but there’s desire on my part to try to do the best I can, finishing one project and then finding the right one to continue. I miss Italy, that’s a fact.
“Still, this experience is helping me so much. I’d also like to become a sporting director in the future.”

Conte, who led Juve to three successive Serie A titles during his time in Turin before taking Italy to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, aimed a jibe at English managers, saying: “Are we better than the English? There are practically no English managers in the Premier League.
“There are so many parts of the world here, but everyone here is good, prepared and among the best in the world.”
