Parma coach Roberto D'Aversa believes Antonio Conte will eventually return to football.

Former Juventus boss Conte was sacked by Chelsea at the end of last season.

D'Aversa played for Conte at Siena and told RMC: "Knowing the person I think he is eager to return.

"That's my feeling, but I do not think it will be soon...

"He needs to start from the beginning, I do not think he would accept to take over with the season already started."
