AS: A.Conte - the main candidate to take the wheel for "Real"

The famous Italian Antonio Conte may return to his usual work.

The Spanish newspaper AS reports that the crisis-hit Madrid "Real" team has already started looking for a possible replacement for the disillusioned Julen Lopetegui, and the most likely candidate is precisely the 49-year-old specialist.

It is stated that A.Conte is the only available top-level strategist, although "Real" should still finalize formalities with London's "Chelsea" club regarding contract details.

Less likely contender is identified as the head of Madrid's reserve team Santiago Solari.

AS insists that J.Lopetegui's fate may be sealed by the "El Clasico" match against Barcelona on October 28.
