Antonio Conte reportedly waiting for Manchester United job

Antonio Conte has reportedly identified Manchester United as his preferred destination, remaining available should the Premier League club decide to replace manager Michael Carrick.

According to reports from sportsTalk, representatives of the former Napoli coach have contacted United to communicate his willingness to take charge if the position becomes vacant.

Conte left Napoli in June after guiding the club to the 2024-25 Serie A title. His managerial career also includes Italian championships with Juventus and Inter Milan, alongside Premier League and FA Cup triumphs during his Chelsea tenure.

Fichajes.com claims the 56-year-old has turned down several offers from West Asian clubs, prioritising a return to elite European football.

Carrick’s position has reportedly attracted increased scrutiny following United’s 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid. However, no official decision regarding his future has been announced, and Conte’s potential appointment remains speculative. The coming weeks could prove decisive for United’s managerial plans and ambitions.
