For weeks now, rumors have been swirling about Antonio Conte’s return to Juventus. For the Bianconeri it would represent a romantic scenario, but are we sure that this would be the right choice for the Salento coach’s professional continuation?
Despite a season finale totally dedicated to Napoli and the Scudetto duel against Inter, Antonio Conte’s future, is hanging by a thread. There is much uncertainty about his stay in Campania and, at the same time, several clubs would like him as their guide for next season. Among the options is a possible return to Juventus.
Conte torna alla Juventus? Tutto dipende da Chiellini
A key role in Antonio Conte’s hypothetical return to the Old Lady’s bench is played by Giorgio Chiellini, as pointed out by La Gazzetta dello Sport. Confirmations have rained down in recent days about the increasing relevance that the Bianconeri manager (and former flag) will acquire at the club. So, his excellent relationship with the coach who made him a pillar of the BBC, could push him to return and bring the club back to the highest levels of competitiveness.

Certainly, the confrontation with Chiellini would represent a good opportunity for the coach originally from Lecce, who would have at his disposal a high-level staff and ample guarantees on the market: there are rumors of the hiring of the famous athletic trainer Pintus (a historical member of Real Madrid) to ensure greater physical fitness and better preparation of the staff.
In addition, Juventus appears to be very active in the market and ready for a revolution, going to ensure targeted purchases that can fit perfectly into the philosophy of the next coach.
Il passaggio di Conte alla Juventus sarebbe così conveniente?
There are many unknowns surrounding Conte’s return to Juventus and possible farewell to Napoli. First of all, the coach has always expressed great appreciation for the square, described as very warm and welcoming. One of the main problems of the current season has certainly been the wrong attitude in the market, with the coach being very dissatisfied with the winter window.

However, the current team is built according to its characteristics (a balancer like Lukaku, a regista like Lobotka, an offensive beacon like Lukaku, and a forager like McTominay). In addition, DS Manna has been active in the incoming market for some time and it is highly unlikely that he has not consulted the current coach about the planned movements in order to convince him to stay.
Juventus chapter: the staff lacks references for Conte’s style of play. With the departure of Vlahovic, the offensive reference is missing, a halfback like Locatelli affects less the maneuver and there is a struggle to find a real balancer on the pitch. In addition, the defensive department appears rather lacking, with few players and unsuited to the typical Conti maneuver. The question, then, arises: would it be a downgrade for Conte to move to Juventus?
