In an exclusive interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Antonio Conte has revealed that he will not be joining AS Roma this summer to become the new manager of the Giallorossi. The full interview has yet to be released, however, the front page of the newspaper features the quote: “Roma, now I say ‘No’, I want to join a top project straightaway”.

Conte has been heavily linked with a move to the Italian capital, but now Roma are forced to look in a different direction.
