Will he join Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae?
Italian media outlet Calciomercato reported on June 6 (KST) that “Antonio Conte wants the Bayern Munich head coach job.” According to the media, Conte believes that Munich is a perfect fit for his soccer philosophy.
Conte is a prolific trophy-winning coach who has led Juventus, Chelsea, and Inter Milan. He took over at Tottenham Hotspur during the 2021-22 season, where he teamed up with Son Heung-min.
Under Conte’s tutelage, the youngster has flourished. In 2021-22, he became the joint top scorer in the Premier League with Mohamed Salah. Despite this history, last season was different. Conte showed poor tactical skills and Spurs struggled throughout the season. Conte was eventually sacked from the club after criticizing the players and management in an interview. Spurs finished eighth in the Premier League and failed to qualify for Europe’s club competitions.
It’s been more than a year since Conte left Tottenham, but he’s still at the center of controversy. On June 6, British media outlet 90min reported that “the Frenchman and Conte had a falling out during his time at Tottenham.” At the time, the Frenchman even called Conte “garbage” for using the formation.
Cristian Romero also said, “If Conte had stayed at Tottenham, he would have left the team.” Conte had a successful first season in charge of Tottenham, but his time at the club was marred by controversy and a lot of bad 카지노 publicity. In the end, Conte remains one of the worst managers in Spurs’ history.
In the meantime, reports have emerged that Conte wants the Munich job. Munich will part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season. Tuchel took over from Julian Nagelsmann midway through last season and led Munich to a dramatic upset win over Borussia Dortmund in the final round of the Bundesliga. However, Tuchel’s up-and-down form this season led him to announce his resignation at the end of the season.
Conte is reportedly keen on the Munich job, but his top choice for the Bavarians’ next manager is Xabi Alonso of Bayer 04 Leverkusen. Alonso leads the Bundesliga with a 34-game unbeaten run in all competitions this season. He is also in the round of 16 of the UEFA Europa League (UEL).
In this situation, German outlet Sky Sports reported that “Alonso and Munich have held initial talks. Alonso has given a positive signal to take the reins at Munich.”
