Fernando Llorente played under Antonio Conte at Juventus and believes the manager will return to the Bianconeri bench in the future. His prediction comes as the Old Lady continues to search for consistency and look to rediscover the success they enjoyed in previous years.
Conte enjoyed a successful spell in charge of Juventus, helping the club win several trophies and laying the foundations for their run of nine consecutive league titles. His impact made him an important figure in the club’s recent history, and his achievements continue to shape discussions about who could lead the team forward.
Conte remains a potential option for Juventus
Interestingly, Conte was in charge of Inter Milan when they ended Juventus’ remarkable run of league titles. He also won the league title again as Napoli’s manager, further demonstrating his ability to guide teams towards major honours.
Conte has established himself as a manager capable of transforming teams, and Juventus could benefit from such a change if they continue to underachieve. The club may consider bringing him back if Luciano Spalletti cannot get the best out of the current squad.
Spalletti is doing his best to improve the team’s performances and win trophies, knowing that results will be important to his future at the club. Juventus will want to see progress under their current manager, but the possibility of another appointment could remain in the background if their performances do not improve.

Llorente expects Conte to return
Although another manager could take charge of Juventus before Conte potentially returns, Llorente appears convinced that the former Bianconeri boss will eventually come back to Turin. He believes Conte remains ideally suited to the club and would be a natural choice to lead them again.
Speaking via Calciomercato, Llorente expressed his confidence in a reunion between the manager and his former club.
“Conte-Juve? Sooner or later he will return home; he is the ideal coach for the Bianconeri. Antonio is at the top, and Ancelotti are the best coaches I’ve ever had. Juve is his favourite team.”
