Antonio Conte (240 Viewers)

[Red]

Sir Alex Ferguson managed Scotland through the end of the qualifying campaign for the 1986 FIFA World Cup and the finals after the untimely death of Jock Stein. He was also managing Aberdeen in the Scottish League.

Jock Stein (who knew, apparently) died at the end of the final qualification match.

Ferguson was only in charge for the play-off and the World Cup itself.

Won two trophies with Aberdeen during that time. Aberdeen also got to the quarter-finals of the European Cup that season.

I'm not aware of anyone combining jobs at at higher level than that for any meaningful period in recent times.

Yes. I don't know any names off the top of my head, but it definitely has happened. In modern times I don't think it has been done in the biggest countries like Spain/Germany/France, but probably in the likes of Romania/Russia/Serbia etc.

Guus Hiddink managed Australia and PSV at the same time iirc.

psv don't play in the A league son

Roma, Milan eye Conte

Rumours say that Roma may cajole Italy Coach Antonio Conte into replacing Rudi Garcia at the end of this season, whilst Milan lurk.

The three-time Scudetto-winning Coach is today facing new speculation over his future with the Azzurri, having cancelled February’s intended training camp for the national team.

Reports are that a split from the Italian Football Federation this summer cannot be ruled out and that if it were to occur, three clubs in particular would be in line for talks.

Paris Saint-Germain and Milan are suggested by more than one outlet as potentially interested, whilst Il Messaggero add Roma to that list.

The capital publication is running the line that the Giallorossi could part ways with Rudi Garcia at the end of the season should a trophy not arrive, and that subsequently they would eye Conte as first-choice replacement.

Meanwhile, Quotidiano Sportivo indicate that Conte is one of President Silvio Berlusconi's main targets, should Filippo Inzaghi not be confirmed beyond June at Milan.

Conte is viewed by this publication as an easier objective to sign up than the apparent alternative target, Bayern Munich's Pep Guardiola.

According to the Italian papers Conte is considering leaving the NT due to disagreement about the date of the coppa Italia finale and because Juventus and Roma won't release their players in February for the 'get together'. If this is really true, then this dude is mentally ill and an extreme hypocrite. Why would he expect a different treatment than any other NT coach in the past? Although he did great things with us, it's difficult not to start disliking him..

 

[Berni99]

Conte

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Wah Wah Wah. What a crybaby Conte is. Just get the fuck on with it, I don't remember Lippi every whinging about wanting these useless training sessions mid season.

 

[icemaη]

If it happened our management should think it through many times if they plan to hire him again. I mean the shit he pulled off here and in a few months he'd do the same at NT indicates he's a very impulsive man with unrealistic expectations. Not everything goes your way even if you agree onto something earlier. You have to try to overcome difficulties instead of leaving every time something doesn't go your way.

He should have known the extra training camps are impossible. When he was a manger here he had problems with he Fifa arranged ones and he'd never agreed to let his players go for additional trainings if he was still at Juve.

i doubt thats even true

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Probably is true, but it's obviously his way of pretending to be angry enough to leave. Nice little excuse he has there. Basically, he realised he made a mistake leaving us to take over the NT, just after the World Cup in the most uneventful and pointless period of international football you can get.

 

[DeviAngel]

if you write on macedonian forums that Conte even thou did good things for us is a jackass with huge ego and cry baby they'll burn you alive I'm sick and tired of that place. This is my home

Yep. I bet he has something lined up for June with Milan, probably.

He's just looking for an excuse to leave.

What a joke

didnt Raiola say he refused Milan because he respects us too much? so why would he leave the job he picked over Milan to go to Milan now? if anything, i see him at PSG once Blanc leaves or in the EPL but not before the EURO 2016

 

[Vialli_92]

I will always love the guy, i can never forget he was the catalyst for bringing us back to winning ways but i am glad he decided to move on. I think the guy is crazy and borderline insane from some of his behaviour. He always complained about money but Diego Simeone proved time and time again that money can only get u so far and it is possible to beat the better teams on a smaller budget.

 

[Hist]

Simeone is consistently pulling miracles that no one else was ever able to do. He is an exception not a rule. The rule is you need money to compete.

Conte over-performed with out squad in his first season and adequately performed on the second before under-performing in Europe in the third. Conte's resume with us is very good but Simeone is just from a different planet compared to any other coach.

This.
Conte wont quit. If he is whining it is to pressure clubs into giving him more time with the players. He must have realized that his squad is worst than shit now that Pirlo, Barzagli and Buffon have declined. He should have never taken that job. Very bad decision made out of some stupid sense of nationalist pride

Klopp has done this too.

Conte was a whiner. He did great things for Juve... but he's a whiner and a baby whenever anything goes wrong for him. Did he have less money than a few other teams? sure. Is it harder to win with less money? sure. Should he have shut the fuck up, worked hard for results in Europe and not whined and cried to the media about Juventus' relative lack of resources, basically once a week? Fuck yes.

I can't believe it was good for our players' mentality in Europe that before big matches he would say that we can't compete with top teams. What fucking coach does that? Stupid.
