Yes. A great coach who prioritized a points record in Serie A over a European final, and who lost against the might Galatasaray. We managed one fucking win in that group stage. Pathetic. He might be a great motivator and instill belief in his team, but he's not a great coach. A good coach? Yes, but not a great one. He's too stubborn, proud and inflexible.

He had Llorente FFS! Allegri was also 1 game from elimination in the group stages with that shit... Luckily Morata stepped up and with some luck in the draws Juve went to the final!

lucky draw = juve was the only team who managed to knock out real madrid from the competition between '14 and' 18.

luckily morata saved our ass = he produced next to nothing since he left juve, he's not a cr7 2.0 by any means.

comparing conte's and allegri's cl results is not even fair.

What a ridiculous thing to say. This not-great-coach won 3 scudettos in a row from a Juve on the back of midtable finishes. The "good coach" won a league undefeated and holds the point record in Serie A. He beat Allegri himself in Serie A. He beat Klopp, Mou, Pep, Poch and everyone else in the PL to the league. Only one of two coaches to have beat Pep to a league title in Pep's entire 11 year career. Did great with the worst Italy NT in a long, long time. Out with this..

My point still stands. He was abysmal in Europe, and that didn't seem to change once he coached Chelsea. He did great for us, at a time when we needed a coach like him. However, I don't want him back. This would not be an upgrade in any sense of the word. I understand some here have sentimental reasons for wanting him back, clinging to nostalgia and all that shit, but I don't see why or how his return would herald any success in Europe.

It won’t. People have short memories.

Abysmal in Europe.

We should have knocked out Heynckes' trebble winning Bayern with Quag-Matri up front. Same for Chelsea, how dare they lose 1 match vs Barca.

Talking about other's sentimental reasons when you speak with such exaggerations.

He coached 3 seasons in CL.

1 was a failure.

1 he beat a great Shaktar (Willian, Fernandinho, Costa, Texeira, Mkhitaryan, Srna) and Chelsea to win the group. Won something like 6-0 in the R16 vs Celtic and lost to the trebble winning Bayern in the QF.

The last one he beat Atletico and got eliminated vs a much superior Barca.

2012 Bayern and 2017 Barca were much better squads than his Juve or Chelsea. If it's abysmal to lose in those situations then what the hell is it to lose against Ajax with Ronaldo?

I assume that Pep with an infinite budget losing to Lyon, Liverpool, Monaco, Spurs, etc and being eliminated the moment he gets the first semi-serious contender is worse than abysmal.

Maybe you have some point here... but Conte main negative point is that he is very rigid with his formation and very little to rotate and his subs are one to one position subs....

His rigidity spreads on requesting specific players so his team will deliver ...which is we cant do it that way...

Also, With Conte we were very predictable ....and thats why we fail with him in Europe ....

See, no one i think here, deny Allegri tactical intelligence, but the man need the tools to deliver ..he got us Scudetto with zero creativity team ....bring him those creative players then do better assessment to his performance

One more thing, we never had this season playing badly issues before ...because we had the tools for that ....this season i cant see any player able to create chances ....

For me thank you Allegri for getting a scudetto out of impotant Juve team

Hope Fabio do super mercato this summer thats all we can hope, if not , be ready for another ugly scudetto :lol2:

Note: one of the reasons we failed on CL is that we almost playing with same guard with little improvements , those old guards are already being full and lost the hunger to play especially Pjanic

Last summer we did well in the market except the midfield.

Are we? Even Marotta wasn't able to keep the mess under the carpet for inda. Conte is a my way or highway type of person, so if a couple of too many things don't go too well for him, it might be an even bigger mess. Inda still has to comply with FFP and they'll lose shitload of money on Icardi. They have no other assets to cash in, too.

Icardi and Perisic out for less than 100m is a disaster for them.

If we don't strengthen, they could have a chance. Otherwise, we'll be fine.

Conte "Why hasn't Juve won the CL with me or Allegri? Two totally different cycles. I took a Juve which wasn't a protagonist & that had disappeared from the CL. We had good players but with little CL experience. Today, Juve's structure puts them among the top 3-4 in the world."



Conte "Returning to Juventus to fulfill my promise? Marriages require the consent of both sides. I think Juventus started a path & they're very happy with Allegri, who has surely continued the job & is doing very well. Then again, you never know what tomorrow brings.

Conte "I feel indebted to (Andrea) Agnelli. I had made him a promise & told him: it will take time, but the objective is to bring Juventus back to the top of the world. And I wasn't able to fulfill it."


Bring him back

Conte "Juve was coming from a difficult period, and we had to do a clean sweep. Fabio Paratici helped me a lot with this task. The squad was good but Fabio warned me: there are issues, especially with that sense of belonging which is important to you. And he was right"

Doesnt even mention Marotta in his interview

He took a couple of shots at Allegri in that interview too lol. Said he thinks the suggestion that tactics/formations mean little in football is ludicrous and the notion that a manager should do as less damage as possible is BS.

Almost sounded like he’s auditioning for the role to coach us again.

He is way more mature as a coach right now. His stubbornness about sticking to just one formation isn't true at all. Changed Chelsea's formations numerous times until it clicked and they started destroying teams on their way.

His spell at Atzurri was amazing too. Made Spain his bitch with a below average squad.

And his training methods are fantastic. No more stupid muscle injuries and tiredness at 60th minutes.
