Antonio Conte admits he has been ‘disappointed’ with his role as Italy CT, but still hopes he made the right decision.
The Coach left Juventus this summer after three consecutive Scudetti, later taking over his role with the Azzurri, but the former midfielder admits he misses day-to-day contact with his players.
“Before I had daily contact with the players,” Conte lamented in an interview with Chi.
“But I chose with my heart, and I chose the national team at a difficult time. I hope I made the right choice.

“Before I had daily contact with the players,” Conte lamented in an interview with Chi.
“But I chose with my heart, and I chose the national team at a difficult time. I hope I made the right choice.
“The future? I like working, and I’ve realised that as CT it’s more difficult to do that continuously. This has left me a bit ‘disappointed’.
“At the moment I’m with the national team, then we’ll see whether I’ll go abroad or accept a project in Italy.
“People always expect the maximum from me. In the collective imagination, a Conte team must always win.
“In six years I won five trophies [three Scudetti and two Supercoppa Italiana], so my history creates pressure.”
