In Italy, it is reported that Antonio Conte may replace Michael Carrick as Manchester United's head coach.
The club has had a disastrous start to the season, winning just one out of six matches in the Premier League. According to The Athletic, INEOS's hierarchy is unhappy with the team’s low intensity and fundamental aspects of their play.
The 57-year-old Conte recently gave an interview during the international break, where he expressed a desire to work with a struggling top club.
In England, top clubs are using bazookas in the transfer market, while others are still shooting with pistols. But one must be careful with how money is spent. If you join a club with a rich history, you can only honour it by having the ambition to bring the club back to its former glory.
I understand that only one team can win every year. But I must carry that spark in my heart and pass it on to the fans, the players, and the directors – the hope that makes you say: 'Blimey, we can win.' Many clubs have lost sight of their history a bit. I would love to come to one of those clubs, dust off that history, and make it shine again.
Insider Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the Italian’s determination.
Some of you have been asking me about Manchester United and what might happen next. What I can say is that Antonio Conte is absolutely ready to get back to work. He left Napoli in the summer and turned down offers from Saudi Arabia and Turkey because he wanted to manage a historic club in a top league. That’s his mission. Let’s see what happens next. That is Conte's current intention.
Italian publications TuttoMercatoWeb and Calciomercato add that United's bosses are seriously considering sacking Carrick, and Conte would gladly accept the opportunity to manage the Red Devils.
