This bond between the coach and his player helped Kevin De Bruyne coming this season. Lukaku reassured his friend by explaining Conte’s seriousness and demands. De Bruyne was looking for one last challenge at the highest level, the former City midfielder turned down offers from Saudi Arabia and MLS.
Good news?
Selon The Republicthe president Aurelio De Laurentiis wants to extend Conte until 2029. A bold bet, because the Italian is not known for staying in one place for long. He had threatened to leave at the start of the season, before calm returned.
