BBC Sport<\/a> understands Conte is keen on the job, the Italian says he is not in “advanced” talks with any club.<\/p>\n“My name has been linked with numerous clubs, but there are currently no negotiations at an advanced stage,” Conte wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n
“I have read reports of financial demands and requests for full control that I have supposedly already made to the clubs mentioned, as well as reservations about what has been described as my “strong personality”. These reports are unfounded.<\/p>\n
“Should a concrete opportunity arise, that will be the time to hold discussions with the club concerned and jointly consider the terms of a potential agreement, with due regard for both parties’ needs and the qualities and approach that define my work as a manager.”<\/p>\n
Carrick’s future at Old Trafford is uncertain after a humiliating defeat to Cesc Fabregas’ Como in the Champions League earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Although Carrick is set to remain in charge for Sunday’s Premier League match against Bournemouth, sources have told BBC Sport that United have begun the process of identifying possible replacements.<\/p>\n
Former Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, Conte and ex-Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann are all understood to have their eyes on the job. <\/p>\n
Conte, who played for Juventus and Italy in a stellar career, is a free agent after leaving Napoli at the end of last season.<\/p>\n
He won the Serie A title during his first season in Naples, before a Supercoppa Italiana victory in his final campaign. <\/p>\n
The 57-year-old won the Premier League with Chelsea during his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge in 2016-17 and beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final the following season.<\/p>\n
He returned to the Premier League in 2021 when he replaced Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n
Conte’s time in north London lasted just 16 months though, with the Italian leaving in March 2023 after criticising “selfish” players and the club’s culture in a remarkable news conference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Antonio Conte has said he is not in “advanced negotiations” with any club in response to reports he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":663162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-663161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=663161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/663161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/663162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=663161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=663161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=663161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
