Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena (27 Viewers)

[Bjerknes]

Mhm, pretty much playing Krasic and Bastos very high on the pitch. More like 4-2-2-2.

With most Italian managers, it would be a 4-4-2 when we don't have the ball. Krasic and Bastos would be back defending in line with the CM's. It's not a 4-2-2-2. That system allows the attacking 2 to roam. Doesn't happen in Italy.

You absolutely cannot play 4-4-2, 4-2-2-2, 4-2-4, whatever you want to call it, without fullbacks. It cannot be done. There is no such thing as "wingers attack, fullbacks defend", they have to each do a bit of both.

Or else you end up with Krasic running at 3 people while Motta stands behind the halfway line.

No please not Conte - a juve legend as a player but we need an experienced manager or we will be back at this point in 1 years time!

Conte != Ferrara

Not my first choice, but has proven some things in B.

Not my first choice, but has proven some things in B.

If we ever play in B again, we should have him in mind.
Until then, thank Conte for his years as a player but keep him away from our bench next year.

Man, I have a good feeling about Conte, no idea why.

Because your standards have been lowered to the point where you simply don't know any better anymore?

Like Motta?

Me too. But with Marotta building the team I don't even think Mourinho can achieve anything with Marotta's signings.

He's got the right character, as did Ciro, albeit with some okay experience (taking a couple of teams to promotion isn't that bad, relatively).

Will he be given what he needs to win, though?

I doubt it.

Why did Conte refuse us the other season? Anyone know why?

 

[jussr]

Conte would be perfect for the old Juventus, but it is ironic that now we need even better coaches than before.

 

[am0110]

That's what we'll look like with Conte:

Buffon
Beck - Bonucci - Chiellini - De Ceglie
Krasic - Aquilani - Marchisio - Bastos
Quagliarella - Matri

this years Napoli is better than this team, awful stuff

Nah, I'd most likely avoid every single Italian coach. Conte gives me some good feeling and like I said, no idea why. If I were making a list he'd probably be somewhere at the bottom, though.

Like Motta?

Yes, that is a good point. And a scary one.

You can't play any four-man defense without fullbacks.

Why are you polishing your gun on me?

How reliable is this? Zilch.

There were only reading my posts from yesterday.

I think Del Neri is staying but I'll go with the optimistic road and chose another one.

My pick is Conte.

Have you just full-stopped me?

The teams that Del Neri coached got relegated the season after he left them. So Conte might a preparation for Serie B.
