Pirlo talks ex-Juventus coaches Conte and Ancelotti

Fatih Karagumruk coach Andrea Pirlo says he's in contact with Tottenham manager Antonio Conte.

Both men are former Juventus coaches and Pirlo says he looks to Conte for management tips.

He told the Daily Mail: "I learned many things from him. Sometimes I talk to him, it was very important for me to understand his mentality because he was one of the best coaches of my career.

"The winning mentality is the key, the concentration, it always puts you on a good direction to work."

Pirlo also worked with Carlo Ancelotti, now with Real Madrid, and added: "He's very calm, has a good relationship with all the players and always has a word for everything. Now there is (Mikel) Arteta and (Pep) Guardiola, it's important to understand them and learn from them."
