Antonio Conte is reportedly keen to enjoy a sabbatical year before taking on his next job in 2022-23.
Despite guiding Inter Milan to the Serie A title last season, disagreements behind the scenes at San Siro led to his departure soon afterwards.
The Italian has naturally been linked with a number of jobs over the past three months, including at struggling Barcelona and under-performing Arsenal.
However, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Conte has little interest in taking over a club during the current season.
Barcelona are allegedly contemplating whether to part ways with Ronald Koeman, who is refusing to use the club's traditional 'tika-taka' style during a period of rebuilding.
Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta's job at Arsenal remains under threat despite recording three successive wins in all competitions since the international break.
