It's still a bit early.”Another of Italy's heavyweights in Roma emerged as a possible destination for the decorated trainer, with Eusebio Di Francesco having been replaced mid-season by Claudio Ranieri. Indeed, club legend Francesco Totti said recently that most sides would do 'crazy things' to have Conte take up residence in their respective dugouts.“We see that in recent weeks there is a lot of talking about Conte,” the Giallorossi director said. “We have Claudio Ranieri on the bench and we have to show respect. “Every club would do crazy things for [Conte]. At the end of the season we'll decide if our coach will be Conte, Ranieri or somebody else.“For now we are only thinking to qualify for the Champions League. It is not right to talk about coaches. “I haven't met Antonio Conte. A change of coach will not depend on the fourth place or not.”</blockquote>
