Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is being linked with a shock return to Serie A.

The Italian coach, who has a contract that expires in the summer, is reportedly wanted by one of his old teams.

Gianluca Petrachi, a friend of Conte's, states that the experienced head coach would “think ten times" before making a decision over whether to return to Juventus.

The Turin-based team, where Conte played and then managed, are revamping their setup this summer.

Petrachi, a former player, is in contention to become Juve sporting director.

“He knows the environment and his winning culture and mentality have always made him emerge,'" Petrachi told Sportitalia.

“However, Conte would think 10 times before making such a choice [returning to Juventus]. He is a pragmatic person, and he'd consider the options given by the club, also economically.

“Antonio is a modern coach, he is not part of the past and he proved that last season. He made Inter win after many years, also with important transfer activity."
