Marotta and profit in the same sentence??
He must be the least efficient serie A manager from that perspective, he almost always sells in loss,or releases a player after paying his salary of course...

Oh I thought we were talking about young players, my mistake then.

Conte's apology ''class act'' as much as giving up on third star.

indeed since they are exactly the same thing.

Chirico said today that there is a rift between Marotta and Conte regarding our transfers. Conte thinks that the way Marotta is leading our transfer campaigns won't get us to the top. The press is speculating now if one of them leave the club in the summer. Chirico is sure it won't be Conte. And I hope he is right.

Nedved to gain promotion and signing Zlatan.

Definitely!

I like Chirico but can't really recall whether much of his insider info was reliable. Maybe @Mark can help there.

Just read the article on TJ and it says that Marotta wants power in the market (and in the club in general) while limiting Conte's influence. I imagine it's basically the same as the relationship Beppe had with Delneri, where the coach was given a team to work with, day starts and ends on the training pitch.

Goes on to say that Conte is a favourite of the president, and Nedvěd also has his back in this. Paratici's relationship with Marotta might not last as he gets on well with Pavel and Conte.

There is some other stuff about Chelsea's interest in Conte but I don't think that is relevant.

Chirico knows nothing. Zuliani is more informed.

Sack Beppe asap, he'll destroy Juventus.

Most of the players this board hates were undoubtedly targeted by Conte and not Marotta.

Yeah, I witnessed a season where Beppe created the team. I still remember Pazienza, Motta and Traore.

Yeah. And Chirco is sooo emotional about many things, for example he write open letters with his opinions and he beliefe somebody cares about that. Zuliani is waaay more in club.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Sounds like a massive load of bullshit.

Tuttosport at their garbage best.

 

[Fake Melo]

Chirico is talking out of his ass.

 

[Goodfella]

I don't get the idea of a Sporting Director (businessman) deciding which players to buy instead of the coach (tactician).

I don't get it at all.

 

[ALC]

I agree. We should do it like England and have Conte be manager.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Almost every country in the world does it the way it's done in Italy.

 

[ALC]

It is the one thing England does better.

Does Germany do the same? I'm not sure.

 

[Fake Melo]

I like things as they are. I think Conte have a lot more power than say.. Allegri or Stronzacccioni.

IMO Conte and Marotta work well together.

As far as I know, technical directors/managers handle transfers in Germany and not the coaches.

I think it's a pile of BS, but let me ask my Italian "Sports Journo" neighbor if there is any element of truth to it. My own Marcello

In any case, if it were to come down to Conte vs Marotta, I'm going all in on Conte
