Antonio Conte has pushed back on speculation that he is in active negotiations with any club to return to management. It comes primarily amid a swell of talk about potentially replacing Michael Carrick at Manchester United as pressure builds on the Red Devils.
Conte, who has won six league championships with four teams in Italy and England, has also been tentatively linked with Juventus and AC Milan in his homeland. Juve, where he was previously in charge between 2011 and 2014, are already playing catchup on Serie A’s leading teams, although Milan have since recovered from a minor wobble in September.
