Antonio Conte: Juventus are too big for Serie A, should aim to win UCL

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte says his former club Juventus have outgrown Serie A and should be aiming to win the Champions League given the squad they have got.

Conte led the Bianconeri to three straight Serie A titles before stepping down and accepting the job as Italy coach in 2014.

The Turin-based club have also won the last two league titles under Conte's successor Massimiliano Allegri, while they are already seven points clear at the top after a third of the current season.

"When you have the eighth-highest wage bill in the world, you need to be looking beyond Serie A," Conte, who also played for Juve, told Gazzetta dello Sport.
