David Luiz reportedly warned Paris Saint-Germain about the idea of hiring Antonio Conte when they were on the lookout for a new manager.
According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, the Brazilian defender was approached by his former club regarding the ex-Chelsea head coach potentially being appointed in France.
It transpires that Luiz was far from positive in his reference and reportedly advised the club against the appointment following the turbulent relationship that the two endured during Conte’s time in London.
Despite the Italian’s success in England, he did not see eye-to-eye with Luiz and the Brazilian was banished from the first-team picture for large spells of Conte’s last season in charge.
Luiz has since worked his way back into the Chelsea side under Maurizio Sarri this season.
With Unai Emery set to leave the club, Paris Saint-Germain were on the hunt for a new boss earlier this year.
A number of managers were linked with the post but they would eventually hire former Borussia Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel and Conte remains out of work.
