Antonio Conte - Manager - Siena (26 Viewers)

[Flamez]

He hasn't been relegated from Serie A, but he went down from B to C1 with Arezzo.

I think Conte will flop with a team like we have right now, but can turn out to be a good surprise surounded of superstars. One or two 4-4-2ish champs would make me optimistic about his future. I say, Aguero and a god damn DM to work for Pirlo. Mascherano is the only one coming to my head.

Masch would work at any system as would any decent and complete DM, but I'm just saying we'll need a WC DM if we're going to play Pirlo in a 4-4-2.

Even with a world class DM, we can't play Pirlo in a 4-4-2.

 

[Flamez]

I think he could. With our back covered and with very roaming on the front, provided for Aguero and Krasic at least, he could. Matri is also good moving around and we could also count the LM if we really get a good one.

And lets be fair, Pirlo adds something to the defense phase. Little, but he still adds.

P.S.: If Conte has some flexibility, he could also play Pirlo - DM - Marchisio and he would have very options for the three in the front.

Have we sealed this deal yet? Can't wait for him to officially join us and set Serie A on fire with our football.

Put me out there. I'll "add" something to the defense as well.

 

[Cronios]

no no no, not again... please God no... we had enough of this, please no more, show us some mercy for a chance, please not another clown...
Not another ruined season. DP, Neddy anyone who lives Juve, if there is anyone left, pls say smth.
Someone must act, we must this disaster!!

Which makes both of these 'done deals' pretty odd, as everybody seems convinced Conte will play 4-2-4 no matter what.

That's not really based on anything though.

 

[Ken]

That's what I was aiming at really, too many assumptions.

On the other hand, nobody would be surprised if we bought a player who doesn't really fit into the (new) coach's plans either.

 

[Mike-e-y]

I loved Conte as a player, and like him also as a manager but come on Agnelli, he's nowhere near experienced enough to get us out of the mess we're in at the moment...

It's also strange with the players we've got he'd consider a 4-2-4... Our fullbacks are appuling, we've got no LW and our CM's are not strong enough, especially with Pirlo thrown into the mix... I hope Conte is being used as a smoke screen here (much like Moggi did with Deschamps prior to appointing Cappello)... For some reason I just cant see our board being that intelligent.

Some in here are seriously comparing getting Conte to the way we've got Lippi back in the 90's

If you're referring to me, I actually did not compare the two. I just said that you cannot call a coach a Serie B coach just because he started his career in B. Lippi started his career in lower divisions, no one can call him a Serie C coach.

It's still early to judge Conte's coaching abilities, unfortunately for us, Juve will be the experiment.

 

[Ken]

Conte would be a hit-or-miss coach, Juve past or not. Let's hope we buy some good players, as to be honest, plenty of coaches would fail to achieve anything with our current squad. You can't really expect Antonio here to work miracles if we don't vastly improve our squad aswell.

 

[Nicholas]

I've forgot what it's like to have a good coach so bring the next one infront of the Juventuz firing squad.

 

[Ken]

Atleast we're not expecting anything. Just like with the previous ones. He can't be worse... can he?

 

[Hust]

Buffon
Beck-bonucci-chiellini-bastos
Melo-pirlo
Krasic-matri-aguero-giovinco

:nerd:​

 

[Nicholas]

We said that about Del Neri

I think we'll have a good Summer with transfer to be honest.

 

[Ken]

Indeed we did.

Let's pray we do, because that's the only way Conte could succeed.

 

[Bjerknes]

Buffon
Beck-bonucci-chiellini-bastos
Melo-pirlo
Krasic-matri-aguero-giovinco

:nerd:​

That looks good. And when we find ourselves down a goal at home like we usually do, we can morph into this:

Buffon
bonucci-chiellini
Pepe-Melo-pirlo-Bastos
Krasic-matri-aguero-giovinco
