Sun claim Conte is a contender for Real Madrid job

Antonio Conte is a contender to take over at Real Madrid, The Sun claim.

It comes amid continued speculation over the future of the Chelsea boss, who has also been linked with a return to his native Italy.

There has been speculation too over the future of Real coach Zinedine Zidane, who is said to be under pressure.

Several managers, including Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino, have been touted as possible replacements for Zidane.

And now The Sun claim Conte is high on a shortlist of candidates the Spanish club have apparently drawn up.

The chance to take over at Real would be “a significant temptation” for Conte, The Sun say.

Conte has 18 months remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.
