Earlier this month, transfer journalist Romano reported that Antonio Conte was a manager worth keeping an eye on in the coming months, with the ambition of managing a truly big club. When we heard Conte’s own statement about what he wants from his next managerial job, it was almost like Manchester United were written between the lines. Now, United supporters should be prepared for a potential coaching revolution at Old Trafford.
You don’t have to be an expert to know Michael Carrick is about to be sacked. Everything that is said about “long-term solution”, “needs time” and “has the full trust of management” means nothing when you manage one of the biggest clubs in the world and stop winning games. According to The Athletic , there are persistent concerns at INEOS about United’s intensity and ability to do the basics, such as running and closing spaces, under Carrick’s leadership.

In an interview with The Athletic , Conte shared his thoughts on his next job.
“If you go to a club where the history speaks for itself – a history of trophies, league titles and victories – you can only honour that history in one way: by having the ambition to bring that club back, if it is not there today, to fight for those goals,” Conte said.
“I know very well that only one team can win every year, but I have to carry it in my heart and inculcate it in the hearts of the fans, my players and my directors. That spark, that hope that makes you say: ‘F***, we can win’,” comes from an energetic Conte.
According to talkSport, United have checked the “availability” of Antonio Conte, with the Italian’s representatives announcing he would be interested in taking over United if Carrick is sacked, it is claimed.

Conte is vacant, Conte is said to have agreed to manage Manchester United. Supporters should already start preparing for an Italian whirlwind of a coach, who is brilliant at his peak, cranky when results are not forthcoming. It could be ready for a Conte show in the next few months, if Carrick does not steer the United ship off the rocks.
