“I have the opportunity…”: Antonio Conte outlines his managerial plans amid interest from Man United

Antonio Conte has addressed his future via a video message at the Festival dello Sport, hinting at taking a sabbatical amid speculation linking him to Manchester United.

Conte stated that he is currently enjoying a vacation and taking the opportunity to rest after leaving Napoli in the summer. Writer Deepungsu Pandit suggests that the Italian tactician's comments indicate he may not be immediately available should Manchester United decide to make a managerial change.
