that is not entirely true.
Conte has to be given a large chunk of credit, he made this team rediscover its identity and has performed miracles for this season. That said Agnelli yes took the risk on him but then again were there really any experienced candidates? or at least one financially feasible to work with a side that was working back to qualifying for the champions league at the very least.
Agnelli was not the one behind the stadium, the triade started it, blanc carried it through to Andrea.
Lets not kid ourselves here, for every Tevez/Vidal/Pogba marotta has bought the likes of martinez, krasic, elia etc... Infact if you ask me marotta gets too much credit for the work paratici does too. Let's also not forget that it was Marotta and Andrea Agnelli who also brought in DelNeri ffs!!!
yes the players have given their all but not because of their quality but because of Conte, certainly it is hard to believe any other manager world class or not would have even achieved 1/3 of what Conte has with this team over the last 3 years. Conte brought out those individual characters, not the players themselves. I haven't seen Tevez enjoy his football so much in such a while till now I believe Conte brought that character out of him
