Former Inter Milan and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has detailed his current approach to coaching.

Conte, after leaving Tottenham, says he's in no rush to return to management.

“Football, like all sport, is continually evolving," said the Italian. "When I started playing, coaches like Eugenio Fascetti, Carlo Mazzone and Giovanni Trapattoni were like second fathers. The changes came with Arrigo Sacchi and Marcello Lippi, who would focus more on the details and give you more information.

“Nowadays, the coach has a more important role to play and has more of an influence on what the team does. What I absolutely hate is hearing people say the job of a coach is to do as little damage as possible. If that is your idea, then don't do this for a living.

“The perfect coach has to be like a tailor, make the best possible suit with the material at his disposal. Put the player in the best condition to express their talent, without getting fossilised into an idea."
