My heart is in Italy, says Chelsea boss Conte

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has hinted he would
love the chance to return to Serie A.
The former Juventus and Italy head coach took
charge at Stamford Bridge last year and has guided
the club towards a possible Premier League and FA
Cup double in his first season.
However, Conte has been linked with a move back
to Italy at various times in the past year, with
speculation suggesting that Inter are eager to tempt
him to San Siro as part of their long-term project to
revamp the club.
The 47-year-old has admitted that would be
tempted to go back to his home country and even
hinted at interest from Inter and AC Milan, both of
whom are now bankrolled by Chinese investment
groups.
Asked if he would return home, Conte told TV show
Emigratis: "Yes. My heart is always in Italy."
When it was suggested that his wages would be
too high for Serie A clubs, he replied: "Haven't the
new owners come in now?"
Conte's Chelsea are four points clear at the top of
the Premier League ahead of Sunday's trip to face
Everton.
They will meet Arsenal in the FA Cup final, having
overcome Tottenham 4-2 in the last-four clash at
Wembley last week.
