I'm fine the way things are, no rush- Antonio Conte

The former Juventus and Italy manager is still in a battle to settle severance package with the Stamford bridge club. 

Antonio Conte, the 2016-17 Premier League winning manager, was sacked by Chelsea a year later, is yet to find another job for himself. Post his sacking, the Italian was on the radar of Spanish giants Real Madrid and was looked upon as the successor to the departed Zinedine Zidane.

Amidst the speculations over his appointment, Santiago Solari - Real Madrid B coach, was appointed as the interim manager of the club. However, since the Argentine took over the reigns, the Los Blancos have been performing pretty well as they have won all 4 games under him.

Seeing the team succeed under Solari, the club decided to let him stay at least for over a season and might also offer him a permanent contract.

Meanwhile, Conte, too, hinted that Madrid weren’t a good fit for him and also expressed to choose his next destination wisely as he spoke to Sky Italia. “Hopping on a moving train is not good for top coaches and right now, I don't feel the need to return immediately,”  said the former Juventus and Italy manager.

“Maybe I'll change my mind in two or three months - never say never - but today I'm really convinced that it's best to wait for a project all of my own.”

On the other hand, various other reports also suggested that Madrid defender Sergio Ramos played a big role in the club cooling their interest in Conte. The skipper, while speaking with president Florentino Perez said that “Respect is won, not imposed.”

Conte, too, went on to express his views on Ramos’ comments saying, “We’ve always got to show education and respect when we arrive at a new club and the same has got to come back from players, because when these kind of things are lacking, that’s when you start having problems.”

“But I've got nothing to say about Real and Ramos - my history speaks for itself, both as a footballer and as a coach, and in general, it's a winning story, so I don't have to reply to anybody,” he added.

Furthermore, Conte went on to explain how he decided to stay in England even after his sacking in the summer and that life in London is going pretty well. “I'm fine the way things are - my bench is in my own home.”

“We're still living in London, which is where Vittoria [my daughter] is going to school. I've told her to learn English well because she can be my interpreter in future. She's also already got some football boots and likes football, asking me to coach her a bit. I've already started to teach her a few tactical and technical things,” he added smilingly.

Meanwhile, Conte is challenging Chelsea for €26m to cover €10.4m worth of contract and the other €15.6m in moral damages in the form of compensation.
