Giovanni Trapattoni has urged Antonio Conte to stay at Juventus and build a dynasty at the club.
Conte, who played under Trapattoni for the Bianconeri, has guided the Turin club to successive Serie A titles since returning to the club in a managerial capacity in May 2011.
The 44-year-old former Italy international has recently been mooted in the media as a possible successor to Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
But Trapattoni believes Conte is well placed to enjoy more success domestically and in Europe if he remains with Juve, who are third in Serie A behind leaders Roma and Napoli.
"I do feel ready to give him some advice: the longer he resists the fascination of trying a different league, the better," Trapattoni told Tuttosport.
"I too received offers from Italian and overseas clubs, but I preferred to postpone.
"I trained many different Juventus sides, but always thought the more you consolidate your success, the better. Of course, eventually I did go to four different countries and win.
"The Bianconeri have everything it takes to get back to the top of European football, though it's too early to tell how this season will pan out.
