Juventus goalkeeper Gigi Buffon admits they miss the influence of coach Antonio Conte.

Conte has been forced to watch from the stands after his 10 month suspension.

"It's not like Conte's suspension is helping the team, a coach like him influences in the same way in the changing room and from the bench during the game," he told La Stampa. "He did a masterpiece last year with the victories and providing the winning mentality, but now I see him as a caged lion."
