One year of failure in Europe can be due to many different circumstances and I expected that some of our shortcomings would get ironed out, and that is with Conte next year. I wasn't pinning the entire blame on him.
After Benfica game, I was disappointed with him, mostly with the statements he made and I believe that I expressed that here.

I can't diss on Conte for not having ambition but that doesn't mean anything if you are stubborn and not willing to try different things.

Yes me too and in this case it is not about the players but about the ambition. Italy as a nation participate in international tournaments to win them, in Conte's case he knows what the goal is and he has all the cards he can deal to himself to achieve that. With Juve they wanted him to stay to reach the quarter finals, he wanted to win a trophy other than Serie A and in order to do that he's ask for other players the club is not willing to gamble with.
This talk about management's ambition is so irritating. It's nonsensical. Ambition is directly tied to how much oil money you have lying around nowadays. I guess Monaco has more ambition than us because they spent billions of euros in one summer.
If you actually take a look at the teams that have better squads than us you'll find only a couple that are NOT backed by huge billionaire investors. You'll find basically Borussia Dortmund and Atletico Madrid. The rest of the squads that supposedly have ambition are backed by endless supplies of money.
There are a couple like Arsenal and Bayern that are self-sustaining models which is what we are ALSO trying to achieve but it will take longer than 3 years to get to that level from the ashes that this club was in after Calciopoli.
How some people need this to be spelled out for them is shocking.
And it's also irritating to hear this talk about ambition when Conte could only manage 1 win out of 4 games vs. Copenhagen and Galatasaray. Then he quits. Then there are fans on this board blaming management's ambition? Whattttt? I'm sure management had higher ambition than that.
