If he doesn't renew his contract, all the big clubs are gonna jump on him. Barca, Madrid, Chelsea etc. Van Persie on a free transfer is going to be down to "who offers the most salary". And it certainly won't be us.
Antonio Conte: “Am I a hard task-master in training? It’s all much easier than when I was a player, as back then we really did have our tongues hanging out. I have my method and won’t deny I grew up with a culture of work. I train the legs, head and heart. It’s called training, not a kick-about.
“I study every element of the team and want each player to know exactly what to do whether in possession or not, almost as if they were radio controlled from the bench.”
Mourinho has to do so much more, he became a great coach because he was a nothing player, he would always be envious of Conte if he could also become a successful coach.
Still, Conte has proven nothing so far, his only accomplishments were two promotions to Serie A. Let's wait a couple of years before saying such things.

One of my friends who happens to be staying in the same hotel which Juve are in had a chat with Conte - apparently, he's a big Van Persie fan, and that if he ever decides to leave, Juve will be on to him.
