I've been lurking this thread lately, and lots of things were said, but IMO nobody understood the real reason for whom Conte (according to me) wants to leave actually. Or if someone did, I missed it. I know the dude and his character since 1991 when he joined Juve with his original hair and after checking the late impressions of the fans in last months (especially the italian ones, who are closer to him) I was expecting this come-out.
The second reason is that he's leaving because he knows that too much was consumed in these 3 years and the teams needs some rebuilding, cause we're being too predictable, also for some motivations, probably including some players that have been important in these 3 years and can't be anymore in the future, and he does not neither want to neither can do that in first person given the amazing pressure by the fan if he fails (he's been criticized for finishing 1st, 3 years in a row, imagine if he benched Pirlo and finishing second due to other reasons, but the average fans is too stupid to understand that... Luckily I see that in this forum there are some intelligent dudes, but not everyone (no offence, come on)). He's right when he says that thing goes in cycles, and by not his cycle at Juve is over this May.
The MAIN reason for this probable departure is that he feels somehow like forced out by the reactions in this situation. This season was really weird somehow. This has been an historical and amazing season, we've set the record for won matches and for a lot of other things, but due to some bad luck, ball-bouncing against Gala or Copenaghen or stupid referee mistakes in matches we dominated and had the best stats in whole CL (just check the stats) an early exit from the Champions League (that someone still can't understand that it's ALSO a luck tournament) labels not just by opponent, but also by fans (!!!) this as a bad season.
I think that with his great sensibility he understood there's too much negativity and tension towards the team for the upcoming season for this ridiculous CL obsession just because some donk thinks without a reason that we're not worth it (we owned Real Madrid and Chelsea in 2 years, FFS) and still forgets that he made it to the QF the season before with a totally unexperienced team and Vucinic-Giovinco upfront (not exactly Diego Costa, Simeone) and we all know how attackers are important in this game and got smashed with 2-0 by an unplayable Bayern that put seven past Barça.
He knows this tension and negativity and insatisfaction for this amazing season will put the team in a bad spotlight for next season, and will lead unavoidably to a negative season. This season we set 102 points and we still got criticized not also in Europe but also in League. At the first draw, the first win not playing at the best there will be ferocious critics, let alone if that happens in the CL "Oh, no progress!!!" "We won just 2-0" "That player is playing bad but he was so good, why why why". The situation will be ridiculous. This year's CL was poison because someone, probably the less careful people, started to piss all over the team and conditioned Conte himself, that is very close to the fans thoughts, especially those in Italy.
I don't think he's ever wanted this outcome at all, but he knows that next season can be dangerous for him, and he's a born winner and want to deserve his winner status above everything. He smells smoke and doesn't want to ruin his record due to the club's flaws and he very kows that with this amazing Roma and Napoli will be difficult to win the league next year, in a league that has been treated by the stupids like the mickey mouse league when it really isn't, added to the fact that every team here wants to beat Juve, the most hated, and there is contant media assault. It's really difficult to shitty the whole season united also in the dressing room to keep the team focused, and without a proper fan support he can't do it. He created this team back in 2011 where there were only "ashes and tears" to say in a poetical way, he gave confidence and tactical knowledge to players that before him were nothing, motivated them and he stated that he IS and will always be a Juventino. He's too intelligent to not consider all this factors and knows that he could end up winning nor CL nor Serie A next season. He does not want to ruin this record and be treated like a donk (even if some stupid already did), he does not the deserve it. He's done everything for this team, he gave us Juve back again... And didn't receive much. He's treated like one of the manys. And now he wants to treat us like one of the manys. Deservedly so.
But I still think that it's not goodbye time yet. I still can't fell like his experience here is over, even if maybe now looks like it. Things will have their way, and actually the right way is with Antonio.
