Antonio Conte returns to talk about his future, opening up to a possible return to Italy to be close to his family.
In a few weeks, the Tottenham manager has lost three people very close to him - first his collaborator Gian Piero Ventrone, then his colleagues and friends Sinisa Mihajlovic and Gianluca Vialli: three deaths that led him "to important reflections", as stated by the Conte himself to the Guardian newspaper.
With his contract expiring in June, despite the negotiations having begun months ago, Conte has not yet renewed with Tottenham, on whose bench he has sat since November 2021. In London, the former Inter coach lives alone, in a hotel, being both his wife Elisabetta and their 15-year-old daughter Vittoria remained in Italy.
A distance that seems to weigh more and more on the coach: "Definitely having a family in Italy is not a positive thing. But if your daughter goes to school, you have to respect her, you can't uproot her from her environment every two years. I don't want to ruin the life of my family".
In recent times, his name has often been compared to that of Juventus, in the event of the farewell of Massimiliano Allegri.
Market speculation that the interested party preferred not to comment.
"This season has also been very difficult for personal reasons - the words of the Italian coach -. When certain things happen, important reflections are made about the future. It happens too often that we attach great importance to work, neglecting the family. We forget that we have to dedicate more time for ourselves, our family and our friends. Because work is not everything in life".
