Antonio Conte has dampened speculation suggesting he could be set to become Juventus boss.

Juve are looking for a new coach after parting company with Claudio Ranieri earlier this month.

A number of high-profile managers have been linked with the post and Conte is also understood in the frame.

Conte, a former Juventus player, has earned rave reviews this season for steering Bari to promotion from Serie B.

Reports have suggested he has already signed an agreement with another club but he maintains there is no truth in such stories.

"I have signed nothing with other teams. I say it in a loyal way," he told the Italian press.

"I hear things about me and many other clubs but I have no agreements with anyone.

"Has anyone heard from me or from the Bari president saying I will leave?"
