I'm sorry, those are negotiating tactics and pretty much every coach uses them.
Sorry but, Conte is unique on this matter. I cannot remember other Juve coach taking his approach and blaming the club and signings for his shortcommings.
Do I think Conte has room for improvement? Yes. I'd prefer if he matured a little, but he is a very young coach, and a fiery personality. Much like Sir Alex Ferguson actually, who made endless excuses for every single one of his failures.
I like him being fiery. I dont like him being stubborn. Thats 2 different things. IMprovement? He needs to prove it next season. At least in Europe.
I dont care about ferguson.
Does this mean we should move on to a different manager? Hell no! He deserves at least one more year to show that this past season was a learning experience in Europe,
Sacking Conte would have been a mistake. But he MUST improve on his Europerformances, and should stop looking for excuses. Period.
About learning experiences.... i dont think so. He has shown zero flexibility. His excuse being the lack of players. Give him what he wants and then we will see what he is talking about. We will see if theres was any truth in it.
I'd prefer we did not turn Conte into another Ancelotti experience.
Every coach is different.. but in case his career turns like the ancellotti one, he will need a good 3 or 4 more years to start being a smart coach in europe. I dont mind this, but i want him to show eagerness NOW. To take different approaches to games.. to make subs earlier. To have a plan B.
Maybe im asking too much for him, as he is very inexperienced and he is still early in his career.
But we need to do something now that we have star players...like Vidal and Pogba. This kind of things happen like once every 10 years. We need to pounce now, and at the very least, start building for a brighter future in europe.
