Former Juventus and Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has said he would rather start a new job in June than in midseason amid reports Santiago Solari has been promoted to permanent Real Madrid manager.
The Italian was one of the leading candidates for the post, but Los Blancos have played well while Solari was interim manager, and he has now signed a long-term contract, according to Reuters and AFP (for AS).
Per Mirko Calemme of AS, Conte discussed what's in store for him:
"Due to the kind of coach I am, I preferred and still prefer to wait until June to find a new job.
