Antonio Conte has admitted that he would love to have Zlatan Ibrahimovic back at Juventus.

The Sweden international played for the Bianconeri between 2001 and 2006, but the current Coach has insisted that he would welcome the Paris Saint-Germain with open arms.

“Ibra is an extraordinary player,” he told Aftonblader. “He is a true champion.

“Sure, I'd love to [be his Coach]. There few players as decisive as he is in world football.”

I don't know why some people on the board think that Zlatan wouldn't work well under Conte. I think they would get along well and would have a strong appreciation for each other's skills. Zlatan was not a problem when he was here under Capello and shared time with Del P and Trez.

The Media give Zlatan a grotesquely unfair reputation.

Had I not followed him for all these years, I would believe Zlatan is a selfish player who constantly starts arguments off the pitch and puts himself before the team.

Infact, he's just outspoken with a big ego and he has the talent to back it up. And he is very much a team player.

I agree. He and Conte are both intense competitors and I think they would work well together.
