Antonio Conte revealed that he rejected a big offer from a Saudi Pro League club as he wants to manage AS Roma or Napoli in the future.

A Saudi Arabian team reportedly reached out to the former Chelsea and Tottenham manager, but he chose to decline them in favour of a position at AS Roma or Napoli. Conte also said that leaving Juventus after only three seasons as manager was a mistake.

Notably, he left the Juventus job in 2014 to manage the Italian national team. He stayed with the national side for two years before joining Chelsea in 2016.

Speaking to Belve, Conte said, “I’ve rejected a huge proposal from Saudi — I decided to say no. I regretted leaving Juventus after just three years. I’d like to try an experience in Roma or Napoli one day, but I usually prefer to join at the end of the season.”

The Serie A winners are dissatisfied with Rudi Garcia’s performance, and the 54-year-old strategist has recently been linked with a move to Napoli. According to reports, the club has spoken with the manager and will do so again shortly to see if he’s the ideal person for the job.
