Juventus coach Antonio Conte has voiced his opinion that arch-rivals Inter are not out of the title race yet as he feels the Nerazzurri have what it takes to fight for top honours again.

Inter have climbed to fifth spot in the Serie A table after a disappointing start to the 2011-12 campaign, and currently trail joint table-toppers Juve and AC Milan by eight points.

Despite the relatively big gap between the two top teams and the Claudio Ranieri's side, Conte has refused to dismiss Inter as title candidates.

"In my opinion, after AC Milan, Inter are the best-equipped squad in the title race. They have the best team after Milan. Then there's Juventus and the other teams," Conte was quoted as saying by Tuttosport.

"There's also Udinese in the Scudetto race, and Lazio deserve to be considered as well, regardless of their loss against Siena, and Roma are still there, too."

Juventus are currently preparing for the home game against Cagliari on January 15.
