Antonio Conte dreams of coaching Bayern Munich. This is the sensational rumour coming from Germany, reported by the newspaper BILD, which states that the Italian coach, without a team since the end of March when he reached a consensual agreement with Tottenham, is pushing to sit on the bench of the German giants next year.
The former coach of Juventus, Chelsea, and Inter considers Bayern one of the top three European clubs, after triumphing in Italy and England, his goal now is to lift the Bundesliga trophy and lead a team equipped to win the Champions League.
Conte's is not the only name on Bayern Munich's list to replace Thomas Tuchel, who could pack his bags despite a contract expiring in June 2025. They also like José Mourinho, who is studying German, Xabi Alonso, who is also Liverpool's first choice to succeed Klopp at Anfield, Hansi Flick, and Sebastian Hoeneß, nephew of Uli Hoeneß, and current coach of Stuttgart. At the moment, any discussion about a change in the coaching position is postponed until summer, but it is undeniable that defeats against Lazio in the Champions League and Bochum in the Bundesliga have put Tuchel in an uncomfortable situation, writes Calciomercato.com.
Is Milan an option for Antonio Conte?
Conte wants Bayern Munich, but he does not rule out returning to Italy. Among all the Serie A clubs that have moved so far, even just for a conversation with him and his entourage, the clues point straight to Milan.
Much will depend on how Milan's season ends and on what Gerry Cardinale's project will be about. It's true, as admitted by Conte, "his history says that he has always arrived at his clubs in a difficult situation, with problems, and he has always built," but it is also true that whoever wants him must put a significant budget available for the transfer market.
