And from the aforementioned media they add that Conte is not among the club's main options since Joan Laporta and his board of directors have Jurgen Klopp as their number one objective. Despite the evident interest in the German coach, who will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, Can Barça are aware of the difficulty that the operation to bring in Klopp would entail. For this reason, Barça's doors are not 100% closed to Conte but at the moment there has been no type of movement for him from the club.
Antonio Conte has not trained for almost a year. In March 2023, the Italian coach terminated his contract with Tottenham by mutual agreement and since then he has not sat on any bench again.
Conte's experience as a coach is undoubted as he has been in great teams both in Italy and in England, among which Juventus, Inter Milan and Chelsea stand out, and he has managed to be champion with those three teams.
