Conte speaks amidst move to Man Utd and Newcastle

Former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte has reacted to the reports linking him with moves to the new club ahead of the next transfer window.

Recall that Conte has been linked with moves to Man Utd and Newcastle Utd as he is tipped as a replacement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Steve Bruce, respectively.

Conte has been out of job since last season after he willingly resigned from Inter Milan despite winning a trophy with them.

Man Utd fans have called for the replacement of Solskjaer, who saw his side lost 4-2 to Leicester City on Saturday and faces a run of tough fixtures, with Liverpool their next match.

While the Red Devils board are keen on keeping Ole at the club, it is uncertain if Conte would be United’s preferred choice to replace Solskjaer, but the Italian would be keen on the job.

Conte told Gazzetta dello Sport: “I look for the projects instead and I am ready to stay at home if something is not convincing me.

It has to do with vision, honesty and principles. Generally, I like challenges and I’ve accepted many of them during my career.

“Even the top clubs I coached were never the favourites when I arrived.

“However, if there’s something that doesn’t convince me I prefer not to accept, regardless of the money.”
