But then, by that logic, Ferrara shouldn't have ever accepted the bench. Guardiola shouldn't have accepted the Barca bench. It's like laying all the blame on Del Neri for the seasons failure when clearly, he's only going to do what's within his capacity. Like you, I don't agree with this appointment, but I'm not laying the blame on Conte, quite like I didn't lay all the blame on Del Neri. He's a mid table coach, he got mid table results. I blame the people who got him here. Point is, its not Contes fault if he's not a technically adept coach, which is perhaps conjecture at this time, and nor is it his fault that he accepted the job when it came to him. Who knows what he was thinking? Its not like he continuously demanded the job, it came his way, and when he saw it was between him and the likes of Mazzarri, he took it, perhaps being confident of doing a better job than the latter. That's not a stretch. Let's not judge him personally for making this decision, because he's taken it with the right intent. He may be a shit coach, and we maybe doomed to failure, but if and when that happens, I still won't be blaming him as much as I will be Agnelli and Marrotta.
