Former Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte admits starting preseason without a club isn't ideal.

Conte left Inter just days after leading them to the Scudetto.

“It will be a year in which I will try to study and continue to investigate certain situations," Conte told Radio Anch'io Sport.

“I want to make the most of this unwanted situation.

"But that's OK, I'll take advantage of the period to be with my family and to watch football, which always evolves and goes on."
