Platini on Conte returning to Juventus: They need good players first

Conte has just led Napoli to the Scudetto, but his future with the Azzurri doubts by tension with President Aurelio de Laurentiis.

Asked about the prospect, Platini said: “He is the champion of Italy. He is a very important figure for Juve, but I don't want to get involved. Tudor is an excellent coach. I think it's very important to have good players if Juve wants to win.

“I have not been a big fan of coaches' work, it is the players who write the history of a club. If Conte returns, it will be a good figure.”

Speaking at the 20th edition of the Vialli and Mauro Golf Cup, Platini was also asked to return to Juve.

The former UEFA President said: “I am honored that people still think of me after 40 years. I did not think about this because nobody called me.”
