Didn't he fall out with inter? Why would either want that relationship again?
dunno, but common interests trump all. ancelotti was fired from madrid and went back to them. mourinho fired from chelsea and went back. these business men don't care as long as results are delivered

I am not sure but what I recall is they told him they’ll need to downsize and they mutually agreed to go separate ways. I don’t recall a public fallout. I don’t recall him publicly falling out with Juve either if I remember correctly he wanted to leave at the end of the season and we told him to reconsider after the summer and then mutually terminated. It was more of a fall out with the fans.

I think his public fallouts were with Chelsea and ofc Spurs. With Inter and Juve he made comments during the season after bad results in Europe about needing more expensive reinforcements but finished the season well.

yeah, the management surely appreciated that the primadonna agreed to stay then backed out of his promise and left the team when preseason has already started

also fallouts aren't necessarily public, sometimes you just suppose with some certainty that it might have happened along the way:

Pavel Nedved reveals Antonio Conte quit Juventus because “he no longer had the energy to continue and had wanted to resign in May.”
Nedved is a member of the Bianconeri backroom staff and told a Czech newspaper the reason Conte abruptly terminated his contract two days into pre-season training.
“Antonio resigned because he no longer had the energy to continue, not because of any disagreements with the directors,” assured Nedved.
“He already wanted to resign in May, but we talked it over and convinced him to think about it over the holidays.
“When he came back, he decided that he didn’t want to carry on. None of what the media have said about Conte’s resignation has been correct. He was simply tired.

Resigns on 15th of July cause he's tired.

Signs for the NT on August 14th.

So tired :cry:
National team is a vacation in comparison to club football let alone at Juve in his last season. Thats why old coaches gravitate towards NTs. All I am saying is he wanted out in May, which doesn't fit well with the big fall-out narrative. He worked with Beppe again soon after and Tici more recently too, and if you believe the rumours Nedved wanted him back after Pirlo. If there was some big conflict it likely was with Agnelli but nothing block buster or as intense as he's had in England or else they wouldnt have given him the summer to reconsider.

Now at Chelsea and ofc at Spurs.. thats a proper fall-out for the history books. He took a giant dump on Spurs' brand.

So he's getting a big severance package AGAIN ain't he. Now he can dine in a €100,000 restaurant.
He'll buy access to the lounge at Ryan Air
