Gigi de Canio is delighted for Juventus coach Antonio Conte over talk of offers from Chelsea and Real Madrid.
Conte kicked off his coaching career as No2 to De Canio at Siena.
Of the European rumours, De Canio told TMW: "It is a token of appreciation for his work, for the high quality of his work and it can also be read as praise for the work of the Italian technical school.
"They like him, but if I were to be more specific, only Antonio can evaluate these offers and consider what is best for him."
