Antonio Conte will not be Real Madrid's next manager
Ex-Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was being considered as a replacement for Julen Lopetegui by Real Madrid, but now he has revealed that he doesn't wish to join Los Blancos. Conte believes that joining Real Madrid will not be the right decision for his career. Interestingly, his obligations with Chelsea don't allow him to manage an English club but he can join a club abroad.
Conte was widely reported to be Lopetegui's successor
It was widely reported that Antonio Conte would be taking over the reigns of the Real Madrid from Julen. Julen had failed to provide Real with a solid start this season and was sacked after 14 matches. It was believed that legal woes with Chelsea was preventing Conte to immediately join Real Madrid, but that does not seem to be the case right now.
Real's run under Lopetegui
Real Madrid played 14 matches under Julen, losing and winning six each, and drawing the remaining two. They currently stand ninth in the league table, seven points adrift of table-toppers Barcelona. Real lost matches against weaker opponents like Levante and Moscow. They also received a 0-3 thrashing by Sevilla. Notably, Los Blancos also saw their longest goal drought ever under Julen.
Conte wants Mourinho's job at Manchester United?
Reports suggest Antonio Conte wants to replace Jose Mourinho as the new manager of Manchester United. This might be the reason why he is willing to sit out any other lucrative offers and wait till next season. Mourinho reportedly is being considered by Real Madrid as their new gaffer, but he has claimed that he wants to see through his United contract.
