Pelle backs Conte or EPL job

With all the rumors circling about Antonio Conte already signed for the Chelsea hot seat, Southampton striker Graziano Pelle has publicly endorsed his Italy manager for the Premier League. During an interview with Rai Sports, Pelle pointed out that Conte has the capacity to triumph in any league in the world and he agreed that he would be welcome in the Premier League if the rumors turn out to be true. Pelle also used Claudio Ranieri as an example of how Italian managers can make it in English football. 

Told Rai Sports: "The coach has the qualities to do well in any tournament. If he does choose to come to the Premier League then he'll be very welcome. It's a tough league, but I am convinced Conte will do well.  I advise him to be himself, as he is a winner and changing culture or league won't modify his attitude. He just needs to change his language! So I advise him to study English.

"The English press is really hard when it comes to gossip, but on that score I don't think the coach has anything to worry about. When it comes to talking about football, I think Italian media might be tougher, but it's only to be expected in the sport. Claudio Ranieri is currently top of the Premier League with Leicester City, confirming Italy has so many excellent coaches. I am therefore not worried and am confident Italy's next coach will do very well, whoever he is."
