Former Roma coach Walter Sabatini expects Antonio Conte to return to Serie A.

Off contract in June at Tottenham, Conte could be sacked this week after a furious rant against the club and players following Saturday's 3-3 draw against Southampton.

Sabatini says the meltdown is no surprise and sees Conte returning home.

He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "That's how he is.

"When he doesn't get the results, he gets angry. He will leave Tottenham and I can see him returning to Serie A."

Former club Inter Milan are favourites for Conte's signature.
