"It's very disrespectful": Antonio Conte FURIOUS at rumours linking with a move
The Italian boss has been connected by the press to a move back to Italy, but he's tired of hearing about it
Antonio Conte isn't happy. The Italian boss has been linked many times over with a move away from the Premier League and back to Juventus, but not thrilled that his position at Tottenham Hotspur is constantly called into question: "It's very disrespectful".
Antonio Conte insists he's happy at Tottenham
Speculation about a potential move for Conte has been going on for a while now.

However, the Spurs manager finds the rumour feeding by the press distasteful: "It's disrespectful for the coach that works in Juventus and for me working in Tottenham. We have just started the season", he commented when asked about the suggestions linking with the Juve job, "We have all of the season to find the best solutions for the club".
In many ways, this echoes the feelings expressed by Maurizio Arrivabene, the CEO of Juventus, who recently insisted there were no plans to change managers: "It would be completely crazy to sack Allegri right now. He has a project here at Juventus, to be developed in the next four years".

However, the former Chelsea and Italy manager was adamant that there is no grounds for it: "Many times I spoke about this and I've said I'm happy and enjoying my time with Tottenham, the owner and Paratici. I don't see any problems".
