Speaking on Radio Marte, Domenico Malfitano shared his thoughts on Antonio Conte and his notable outburst following the match against Monza. Malfitano stated that he finds it hard to believe Conte made those declarations simply to deflect attention from the team. He suggested that when facing the press, a coach typically knows what they intend to communicate. Conte`s answers, according to Malfitano, weren`t entirely pertinent to the questions posed, indicating that he was determined to convey specific messages irrespective of the journalists` inquiries.
Malfitano added that he wants to avoid discussing the future and potential new signings until the season concludes. He stressed that this is a sensitive period, and it`s crucial to maintain a calm and focused environment, avoiding misunderstandings. He felt that President De Laurentiis handled Conte`s pre-Monza comments well by deferring the discussion, signaling that it wasn`t the right moment and that talks would happen at an opportune time.
Reflecting on Conte`s recent statements, Malfitano admitted he is beginning to have some doubts about whether the coach will remain.
