#3 Conte got Madrid offer
The former Chelsea and Juventus manager has lifted the lid on Madrid making an offer for him after sacking Julen Lopetegui. Following the dismissal of the Spaniard, the former Italy manager was linked to the job but in the end, the club ended up appointing Santiago Solari on a permanent basis.
And now, Conte has revealed that he did get an offer from the Galacticos but likened it to a "hot potato" and that he thought it would be better to reject it since he doesn't like joining a club in the middle of a season and, like most managers, likes to start from the beginning.
"The Real Madrid job was a hot potato at the time," he said. "I thought it was better not to go. There was a possibility, but I don't like arriving at a club in the middle of a season, I prefer to work from the start."
