Juventus Eye Conte’s Return Amid Uncertain Managerial Future

Juventus are reportedly planning to reappoint Antonio Conte as manager after his successful stint at Napoli, where he's currently leading the Serie A title race by one point with two games left. Despite Conte having two years remaining on his Napoli contract, Juve sees him as a potential successor to interim boss Igor Tudor after the Club World Cup.

During the 2024–25 Serie A season, Juventus are reportedly considering a bold move to bring Antonio Conte back to the club as head coach. According to reports from Sky Italia’s Gianluca Di Marzio and SportItalia’s Alfredo Pedullà, Juventus want to approach Conte this summer despite his current role at Napoli, where he signed a three-year deal just last year.

With Napoli leading the Scudetto race by one point ahead of Inter Milan and only two games left, Conte is close to achieving a rare feat — winning Serie A with a third different club after his previous triumphs with Juventus and Inter. If successful, Conte would be the only manager officially credited with such an accomplishment, as Serie A does not recognize Fabio Capello’s revoked titles with Juventus.

Despite his winning pedigree, Conte’s history of short stints and high demands remains a concern. Juventus, who previously rehired Massimiliano Allegri with mixed results, seem willing to gamble again on a proven but demanding manager. The club may also target Conte’s former fitness coach, Antonio Pintus, currently at Real Madrid. However, Juventus have stated they will wait until after the Club World Cup to make any final decisions regarding their next managerial appointment.
