ANTONIO CONTE has revealed he’s turned down a huge offer to manage in Saudi Arabia.
But the former Chelsea boss admits he’d jump at the chance to manage two European giants should either come calling.
Conte, 54, has been out of work since March after being sacked by Tottenham.
The Premier League and FA Cup winner was axed by Daniel Levy after an incredible outburst following Spurs’ 3-3 draw with Southampton.
And Conte failed to land a new job over the summer despite being linked with a return to Italy.
He has since been linked with the Napoli job amid reports that Rudi Garcia will be sacked after a poor start to the club’s title defence.

However, Conte says he’s rejected the chance to join the likes of Steven Gerrard and Roberto Mancini.
Instead, the three-time Serie A winner with Juventus has his sights set on a return to Italy.
Conte admits he’d love to manage one of Roma or Napoli.
But despite being linked with the latter, Conte insists he will only consider taking charge at the end of the season.
The tactician said: “I’ve rejected a huge proposal from Saudi — I decided to say no.
“I regretted leaving Juventus after just three years. I’d like to try an experience in Roma or Napoli one day, but I usually prefer to join at the end of the season.”
