Antonio Conte will not be Real Madrid's next manager
What's the story
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.

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.
Manchester United
