Since his departure from Tottenham, Antonio Conte has been nowhere to be found in the media. As the stories about the potential takeover of Napoli appeared, the experienced coach appeared little by little in an interview.
It is still the same today, although it is only the introduction of the interview that Conte gave to RAI television. And judging by that, there will be a lot of interesting things.
For example, Conte very much regrets that he decided to leave the bench of Juventus.
“I saw big problems in small things. That’s why I decided to leave after the third season. I regret it.”
Despite turning Napoli down, Conte has expressed his desire to manage the club one day, just like Roma.
“Those are two clubs where I would like to work because of the fans’ passion for them. I hope that one day I will have the opportunity to have such an experience. I usually don’t take over clubs during the season because of the situation they were in before my arrival,” the experienced coach explained the reasons for rejecting the Napoli bench.
Conte was asked to comment on Roberto Mancini’s controversial decision to leave Italy’s bench for the sake of money for a coaching position in Saudi Arabia.
“I don’t want to comment too much on that. I only know that offers have arrived from Saudi Arabia for Manchini and many other coaches. Even I got it, I refused”.
At the end of the clip, Conte talked about numerous quarrels with Jose Mourinho, with whom he has a better relationship than is presented to the public.
“Once I told him to meet in my office. I came from the streets and I will never forget it”, explained the former coach of Inter, Juventus, Atalanta, Chelsea, and Tottenham.
