Antonio Conte 'dreaming' of summer PSG switch despite Tottenham admission

Antonio Conte is "dreaming" of a switch to PSG this summer despite being at Tottenham for less than year, according to reports.

The Italian took over in north London back in November and has the club on the cusp of a Champions League return as they eye fourth spot. Conte signed an 18-month deal having left Inter Milan last summer after leading them to the Serie A title.

PSG are poised to sack Mauricio Pochettino in the summer after another Champions League failing. The former Tottenham boss, who was linked with a return to north London, has ensured domestic success but managers at the Parc des Princes are defined by their achievements in Europe.

It would leave the French giants looking for a new manager and according to Le Parisien Conte is already "dreaming" of life at the Parc des Princes whilst it is also reported that he is "looking for a new challenge". The Italian has won league titles at Inter, Juventus and Chelsea.

Those exploits have earmarked him as one of Europe's elite and he would reportedly relish an opportunity to cross the English Channel. PSG's first choice though remains Zinedine Zidane, who has been out of work since leaving Real Madrid last season.

Zidane's ideal move would be to succeed Didier Deschamps and take charge of the French national side, but he could yet be swayed to take up the job in Paris. His experience at managing a dressing room of egos is seen as a major plus should PSG begin their managerial search.

Conte's apparent want to move to Paris comes despite him underlining his commitment to Tottenham - at least in the short-term. The former Blues boss has never been shy in speaking his mind and has hinted he would walk away at points this season, despite only arriving recently.
