'Just one name!' - Former Juventus midfielder claims club should appoint Antonio Conte as former Chelsea boss leads Napoli and Scott McTominay to Serie A title

WHAT TACCHINARDI SAID
Tacchinardi, who played for Juve between 1994-2007, told Ilbianconero.com: "There is just one name and it’s Antonio Conte. I’d take him. He’s the one who is proving to be a high-level coach. But a coach can’t do everything on his own. The club must help him."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Igor Tudor is currently taking charge of Juventus after the departure of Thiago Motta in March. However it is possible the club will seek a new long-term head coach this summer.

WHAT NEXT FOR CONTE?
Napoli must take seven points from games against Genoa, Parma and Cagliari in order to secure the Serie A title this season. Conte has done an excellent job at the club, with summer signing Scott McTominay proving to be a revelation with 11 league goals.
