Antonio
Conte has reiterated his commitment to Chelsea, dismissing speculation he
could be tempted by a move back to his native Italy.
The 47-year-old revealed in March that his family, based in Italy, were
missing him. They are due to join him in London before next season.
There has been interest from Inter Milan, with Sky in Italy reporting that
the Nerazzurri have contacted Conte's representatives over his availability.
There has also been reported contact from Inter's rivals AC Milan.
But Conte insists he is planning to be at Chelsea next season.
Speaking after Wednesday's 2-1 win over Manchester City, Conte told
Sky
in Italy: "Now we are fighting hard, we are trying to end this season
by achieving something important and unexpected. Then we will certainly try
to build something important together."
When asked whether that meant next season, Conte replied: "Yes, for the next
season."
Inter have had a stuttering season in Serie A, with manager Stefano Pioli
having to answer questions about the possibility of Conte replacing him at
press conferences.
Conte is also understood to be the first choice of AC Milan's Chinese
owners. They tried to lure Conte to the San Siro last summer when he left
his role as Italy manager.
