Bari Coach Antonio Conte believes God will ultimately decide whether he ends up becoming the next trainer of former club Juventus.
The 39-year-old, who played for the Bianconeri between 1992 and 2004, amassing 295 appearances, has guided Bari to a six-point lead at the top of Serie B.
If Claudio Ranieri were to get the sack at the end of the season, Conte is reportedly the hot favourite to replace him.
Juventus drew against bottom placed Reggina on Sunday and fell to third in Serie A, annoying the club's fans, who adore Conte.
When asked about rumours linking him with the Bianconeri bench, Conte replied: “There are still three games left until the end of the season.
“I am thinking about the present and here, in Bari, the present is a dream. The rumours make me happy and fill me with pride, but I know that Bari is Conte's current present.
“As for the future,” the former Italy international concluded. “I am a Christian and therefore feel that God sees and provides.”
The Italian Press believe a deal for Conte is very much in the works and that Bari want Ciro Ferrara as his replacement.
