According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Italian football cannot rule out the possibility of Conte's return.

Across Europe, a more attacking, less pragmatic style of play is gradually becoming more common, which is clearly a positive development. More and more clubs, including Italian teams, are adopting this approach.

Como, under Fabregas's leadership, is also making waves in the Champions League, while Amorim has had a difficult start at Milan and is trying to implement a different style, but his players don't always fit the system. As Serie A champions, Inter should also abandon their rigid three-defender system and try a more European style of play. Chivu has put this transition on the agenda, although it will have to wait until the right players arrive.

An Opportunity with the National Team

Ultimately, Inter still uses the system that Conte introduced, aimed at building a less flashy but capable winning team, and both objectives have been achieved. After Conte left, Inzaghi and Chivu took over in succession, but the overall system hasn't changed much. In contrast, Conte's two years at Napoli saw significant changes, which were clearly recognized.

He led the team to win one Serie A title and finish as runners-up once, maintaining his characteristic intensity while incorporating some important new elements. He was completely suited to leading the national team, but everyone knows what happened afterwards. Now, a return would be pointless since the Nations League is approaching. Although UEFA has reduced the relegation risk, the tournament still reflects Mancini's coaching path and prospects.

He Can Win Anywhere

Since Conte is not returning to the national team, it means he could still return to club football. Conte is a demanding coach, which is why fans love and support him, but sporting directors and club presidents are less keen on him. Conte has never escaped the saying: "He has only 10 euros in his pocket but wants a 100-euro meal"—a comment that once infuriated Andrea Agnelli.

This trait has caused his subsequent coaching stints to be short-lived. However, if we only look at his record, he has won almost everywhere he has been, except for his time at Tottenham Hotspur. Certainly, like his tactical ideas, Conte's demands are also different now. He is still demanding, but not as absolute as before. In my view, his most admirable quality is his relentless pursuit of improvement and self-perfection. Many clubs that have won titles but are no longer successful desperately need a coach like that.
