It looks like Antonio Conte could soon be back in the game, with Sport Mediaset (as relayed by VoceGiallorossa) now reporting that AS Roma are eyeing a move for the Italian.
Conte has already replaced Jose Mourinho in North London (although they were both separated by a short spell by Nuno Espirito Santo in the middle) and it now looks like the Italian could once again follow the Portuguese coach at Roma.
Sport Mediaset say that Mourinho is coming under pressure after Roma’s poor start to the season, with the club currently sitting in 13th place – a long way off their objective of Champions League qualification.
It is suggested his departure from the Giallorossi has thus become a serious subject as rumours of the club seeking a replacement are starting to intensify.

Roma could go from Mourinho to Antonio Conte
The report asserts that Conte, who parted ways with Tottenham a little over six months ago, is ready to return to the game and could become an option for Roma.
The outlet explains that while the 54-year-old’s great relationship with Romelu Lukaku could help attract him to the Stadio Olimpico, his salary demands might prove an obstacle for the Serie A giants.
Spurs Web Opinion
Even though the Conte experiment backfired for Spurs and he proved not to be the right fit for the club, the Italian is undoubtedly a good manager, who has complete faith in his principles.
There is no doubt that he is an upgrade over Mourinho, whose ideas are now completely outdated, and I would not be surprised if the 54-year-old does well at Roma if he does get the job.
