Conte unsure of future
Friday 29 May, 2009
Bari tactician and Juventus candidate Antonio Conte has confessed that he doesn't know where he will be working next term.
The Old Lady are looking for a new boss after firing Claudio Ranieri with just two games to go.
Youth Coach Ciro Ferrara has taken charge on a temporary basis and hopes to have the permanent position, but Conte, who has just led Bari up from Serie B, is said to be in pole position.
“The newspapers are talking about me a lot,” Conte told journalists.
“But have they ever heard me or President Vincenzo Matarrese say that I will be leaving Bari?
“The people directly involved haven't opened their mouths during this debate - it's just you journalists who are saying that I will leave Bari.
“Anything is possible at the moment - I really don't know what the future holds.”
Conte may lead Bari for the last time against Treviso at the Stadio San Nicola tomorrow.
“Am I expecting a special welcome? I wouldn't know,” Conte said. “I given so much to Bari and it's not impossible that I will give so much more in future.”
