Conte quits as Juventus coach

Antonio Conte has left as Juventus manager by mutual consent after four years in charge of the club. The 44-year-old, who won three consecutive Serie A titles with ‘the Old Lady’ since joining from Siena in 2011, terminated his contract on Tuesday despite signing a one-year extension last season. A former international, Conte made more than 500 appearances for Juventus and won five league titles as a player with the club. His departure from Serie A has already sparked speculation that he could be poised to replace Italy boss Cesare Prandelli following la Squadra Azzurra’s disappointing World Cup campaign in Brazil.
