Italian coach Antonio Conte wants to become Manchester United manager. According to Foot Mercato, the departure of the club’s current manager, Michael Carrick, is increasingly likely, and Conte has begun taking active steps to secure the appointment.
The report says the Italian coach has the backing of a prominent agent in discussions over his appointment as manager of the English club. Conte has previously managed Chelsea and Tottenham in the English Premier League.
During his time in charge of Chelsea, Conte led the team to the English league title and an FA Cup victory. Manchester United have collected eight points after 10 Premier League matches and sit 18th in the table, in the relegation zone.
