Reports suggest that Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte could leave north London to make a spectacular return to Juventus.

Following the Bianconeri's poor start to the season, Massimiliano Allegri could soon be unemployed. Juve are currently in eighth position in the Serie A standings and, for the first time in their history, have lost their opening two matches of a UEFA Champions League campaign.
Many are not happy with the team's start to the 2022/23 season, and Allegri could reportedly be paying for this with his job soon.
According to ilBiancoNero, Conte is the frontrunner to succeed the ex-AC Milan coach if he is relieved of his duties in Turin.
He has just under 12 months remaining on his current deal with the Lilywhites, and the feeling within the Juve hierarchy is that he could be lured back to the Allianz Stadium. The same report suggests that the 53-year-old himself would also be keen on a return.
The former Juve captain ended his first spell in charge of the Turin side in acrimonious circumstances in 2014 after he fell out with chairman Andrea Agnelli, but having previously stated that he has unfinished business with the record Italian champions, Conte could be on his way back to the club where he has spent much of his footballing life.
Vice-chairman Pavel Nedved is also a massive admirer of Conte and reportedly wants Allegri gone as soon as possible. Nedved is said to have tried to bring the former Italy midfielder back to the club in 2019, only for the move to vetoed by Agnelli, with Juve moving for Maurizio Sarri instead.

During his first stint, Conte led the Bianconeri to the three Scudetti, but left after he felt he was not properly backed by the Juventus hierarchy in the transfer market.
He has also been spotted in Turin during the international break, visiting his wife and daughter, who still live in the city.
