Il Mattino: Conte focusing on the past ahead of Napoli-Milan amid head coach links | OneFootball

Despite being linked to the AC Milan job in recent days, Antonio Conte is focusing on the past ahead of his side’s clash against his potential future club.

This summer, it seems increasingly likely that Milan will attempt to bring Conte to the club, despite him currently being the head coach of this weekend’s opponents, Napoli.

Reports have put him in contention for the job heavily recently, and it seems that the favourite for the sporting director job would also like to see him on the San Siro touchline permanently, if he is given the chance to.

However, things suggest that the Rossoneri are the third most likely option at present for the head coach, with Juventus and his current club Napoli both ahead.

Despite the rumours about his future, he is aiming to keep his squad grounded, and according to reports from Il Mattino (via Milan News), the coach is revisiting messages from before the international break before his side hosts the Diavolo this weekend.

In the days leading up to the potentially Scudetto-deciding fixture, the Italian has been reiterating his own side’s strengths and weaknesses, referring to the game against Venezia rather than focusing on Milan. For this reason, it is unlikely that the coach will change the system, preferring his side to play their own game.
