Conte targets Manchester United job with Zahavi's help
According to Foot Mercato, the Italian has turned to agent Pini Zahavi, while Pochettino stays in the race with a release clause of around 9 million euros.
Antonio Conte is reportedly eyeing the Manchester United job, according to Foot Mercato. The 57-year-old Italian, free since leaving Napoli at the end of last season, has turned to agent Pini Zahavi with one aim: to take charge of the Red Devils. Meanwhile Michael Carrick remains formally in charge after the 4-4 draw with Aston Villa at Old Trafford, and his exit looks a matter of days.
The main rival in the race is Mauricio Pochettino, the United States coach, who has reportedly already opened the door to replacing Carrick and keeps a family home in London. His contract with the US federation runs to 2030, but a release clause of around 9 million euros could free him. What The Guardian reported earlier, including the Tuesday meeting in Monaco with Ratcliffe, still stands. It is unclear whether the club will move before Pochettino's Concacaf Nations League quarter-final against Haiti.
