Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has labeled reports linking him to a return to Juventus as “disrespectful” and “incredible,” and maintains he is happy at Spurs.
According to reports in Italy last week, Conte is open to replacing under-pressure Juve boss Massimiliano Allegri, who potentially faces the sack with the Old Lady struggling in Serie A with just two wins in seven games this season.
🚨 Juventus are now considering sacking Max Allegri and have made contact with Antonio Conte’s representatives about potentially returning to the club.

The Italian giants are also reportedly encouraged by Conte’s contract situation at Tottenham, which expires next summer.
Will Conte Go To Juventus?
Conte, who joined Spurs in November 2021 and later helped them qualify for the Champions League, has denied the rumors about returning to his native Italy.
The 53-year-old replied: “This is incredible. In this period I think this is disrespectful for the coach that works in Juventus and for me working in Tottenham.
“We have just started the season. Many times I have spoken about this topic and I’ve always said I’m happy and enjoying my time with Tottenham.
“We have the whole season to find the best solution for the club and for me. And for sure, I’m enjoying my time at Tottenham.
