Antonio Conte has dropped a huge hint that he may consider leaving the club at the end of the season.
This comes after the team’s recent 1-0 loss to AC Milan on Tuesday night in the UEFA Champions League.
The only goal of the match was scored by Brahim Diaz, a former player of Manchester City.
Despite the loss, Conte remains confident that his team can turn the tide around in the second leg of the tournament at home.
He expressed his faith in his team’s ability to overcome the Milan obstacle with the help of their fans.
“For qualification, you have to play two games. It is the first game away, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I know the San Siro, and I know the difficulty to play with this atmosphere. In the second game, we have to play at our stadium, and our fans will create the atmosphere to help us overcome the Milan obstacle,” Conte said.
However, after the match, Conte spoke to the media and hinted that he may leave the club at the end of the season.
Conte has previously managed several Italian clubs, including Juventus, Inter Milan, and the Italian national team, and he left the door open for a possible return to Italy.
“I don’t want to talk about the future, but as a former Italian national manager, people know how much Italy means to me. It’s in my heart. I will never exclude the possible ideathat I will be back here one day,” Conte stated.
Conte’s contract situation with the club has remained a topic of discussion this season.
His current contract expires in the summer, and there has been no progress in contract talks.
As a result, Mauricio Pochettino, the former manager of Tottenham, is being heavily linked with a return to the club as Conte’s replacement in the summer.
Alan Brazil, a sports presenter on TalkSport, has claimed that he has been told that Conte will leave at the end of the season, and Pochettino is tipped to replace him.
This has led to speculation among fans and analysts about the future of the club and its management.
