Conte – Juventus, the latest from Fabrizio Romano

Antonio Conte continues to be linked with several top clubs despite currently being without a managerial position.

Among the teams mentioned in connection with the Italian coach is Juventus, particularly during the recent difficult period when Luciano Spalletti’s position appeared to be under threat.

With speculation surrounding Spalletti’s future continuing to attract attention, rumours of a possible Conte return to Turin have gathered momentum.

However, renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano has now provided an important update, addressing claims that Juventus have already made contact with their former manager.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano clarified that, as far as he is aware, there have been no discussions between the Bianconeri and Conte, not even through intermediaries.

No Contact Between Juventus and Conte

Romano explained why Conte’s name continues to dominate discussions whenever a major managerial position becomes uncertain.

“Antonio Conte is a name that keeps coming up. We hear about him every day among fans, online, on social media and in the newspapers. That is understandable because when Conte is available, he is always more than just a name – he is the name. His track record speaks for itself,” Romano explained.

However, the journalist was quick to dismiss reports suggesting that Juventus had already made indirect contact to explore the possibility of bringing the 56-year-old back to Turin.

“As things stand, I am not aware of Antonio Conte being in negotiations with any club. He has not started having contacts, calls or discussions with anyone. Manchester United have also been mentioned, but there have been no in-depth discussions so far,” he added.

Conte Is Waiting for the Right Project

Romano also stressed that Conte’s availability means a deal could potentially move very quickly if the right opportunity emerges and both parties are interested.

“Antonio Conte is available, so there is no contract to negotiate or terminate. If one side wants it and the other agrees, everything can happen very quickly. But, as things stand, he has had no contact with Juventus, not even indirectly, according to my information.”

For now, the Italian coach appears in no rush to return to management. Having just completed a successful two-year spell at Napoli, where he won the Serie A title and the Italian Super Cup while also securing a second-place finish, Conte can afford to be patient.

His priority is to find the right club, the right project and the right conditions before committing to his next challenge. Whether Juventus will eventually make a move remains to be seen, but Romano’s latest update suggests that a reunion is not currently being discussed.
