Juventus GM Beppe Marotta is confident Antonio Conte will remain in charge next season.

Conte has so far refused to open new contract talks.

Marotta said: "There is absolutely optimism, as we consider Conte a great Coach and are very proud to have him with us. We'll do all we can to keep him.

"Having said that, there are some issues that need to be confronted and based on those discussions we'll see what happens."
