Both Belgian player and Italian coach coincided at London SW6 and initially enjoyed a positive working relationship which deteriorated in the second season coinciding in general tension at the Premier League club which eventually saw the Lecce born coach depart the London club during the summer of 2018.

If, as is expected the Italian coach does take over the reigns at the Santiago Bernabeu, staff at Real Madrid and indeed Conte himself will have to embark on a campaign to convince the Belgian international that a move to the Spanish capital is the right one.
