Conte has been without a managerial position since leaving Napoli in the summer, where he secured the Serie A title for the 2024/25 season. The 57-year-old has won six league titles throughout his career, coaching Juventus, Chelsea, Inter Milan, and Napoli to triumph.
While Conte did not name a specific club, he emphasized that many clubs have seemingly lost touch with their histories. He stated, "I’d like to go to one of these clubs to dust off that history and make it shine once more."
He also touched upon the financial advantages of the Premier League, referring to its power as a 'bazooka' compared to the 'pistols' used elsewhere in the football world. He noted that while English teams possess significant financial resources, it is crucial to spend wisely and develop a clear vision for success.
Conte's previous tenure in English football was marked by a Premier League title with Chelsea in the 2016/17 season, after taking over a team that had finished 10th the year before. He also won the FA Cup during his time at Stamford Bridge before moving on to a two-year stint at Tottenham Hotspur.
