The 54-year-old gaffer is the proud owner of a Simpsons pinball machine which sits pretty in his home office.

The eye-catching game was gifted to Conte by his wife Elisabetta and daughter Vittoria during lock-down.

And although the retro game may not be everyone's cup of tea, Conte certainly likes to play it.

The passionate manager posted a video to his Instagram of the pinball machine back in 2021 explaining that it offers him something to do with his "precious free time".

Conte has been a busy man over recent years with his spells in charge of Chelsea, Inter Milan and Tottenham.

But since being sacked as Spurs boss he has had much more spare time with the former Juve manager jobless since March of last year.

Although that doesn't mean he isn't still filling his time off with football regardless.

Conte also had a Subbuteo table in the middle of his office which he uses as a tool to analyse tactics and try out new things when he isn't in a job.

The former Italy manager has claimed that he has always had one as a tool for his tactical development.

He told The Telegraph: "You can reproduce some tactical situations [using the Subbuteo table].

"In every club that I have coached at, I have brought Subbuteo.

"Also [I use it] sometimes to explain some tactical situations with my players. I've always had one in my home."
