Giovanni Trapattoni tells Antonio Conte to stay at Juventus

Former Juventus coach Giovanni Trapattoni has declared that Antonio Conte should resist the temptation to seek a move away from Turin.

Conte is on the verge of securing back-to-back Serie A titles with the Old Lady, but has been linked with a move away from Juventus in recent weeks.

Trapattoni believes that Conte should be proud of the side he has built in Italy and resist the temptation to seek a new challenge at this stage.

He told Eurosport: "Antonio's work is excellent and he should continue with this team. He has a strong side with a great collective and a clear and effective style of football.

"Many years ago I was a young Coach achieving success and I had someone whispering in my ear that I should change country, even if at that time it was unusual. When I told a friend that I was going to Bayern Munich, he said I should watch out, as the more forests you travel in, the more wolves you find. He was right.

"Going abroad is a great unknown and before taking that step you need to have a lot of experience in Italy. I thought long and hard before leaving Serie A, so I suggest Conte does the same."

Trapattoni won six Serie A titles during two spells in charge of Juve, which spanned more than 14 years.
