Gianluca Conte (Italian pronunciation: [dʒanˈluːka ˈkonte]; born 28 May 1972) is an Italian professional football assistant manager, analyst and former player.

Playing as a defender, Conte began his career at local club U.S. Lecce. Conte played from the bench and didn't manage to break into the first team. Later he studied the University of Foggia, in sport science, and followed his brother Antonio into a managerial role.[1] His managerial career started in 2007, assisting his brother to lead Bari to the 2008–09 Serie B title, and Siena to promotion from the same division two years later. He then arrived at Juventus in 2011. Winning three consecutive Serie A titles as an assistant manager, he then followed his brother again in taking charge of the Italy national team in 2014 until the UEFA Euro 2016 campaign.[2]
