If we was tired, he should have quit in May.
He agreed to stay on board and then he drops out during pre-season because he was tired? He made a promise to the fans, he made a promise to the directors, and he broke it for a really lame reason.
Conte did a lot for us, and by all means if he isn't satisfied he should move on. But what he did was unreasonable and unprofessional and left us in an unnecessary bad situation. Simple as that.

x2Everyone has responsibilities. Walking out of your responsibilities are okay now? I don't care where you work, walking out on a project when you agreed to initiate it is simply unprofessional.
This is the saddest excuse I've heard yet.
The timing tho. Not good. The management shud have been aware this cud happen.
It's an awkward situation if what Nedved says is true.
Conte saying he's had enough at the end of the season is fair enough, as is him being willing to do as the management asked and delay his decision until he's had a holiday.
As much as it would have been easier for Juve to get a better manager than Allegri if Conte had left at the end of the season, you can't blame them for giving Conte as much time as possible to reconsider considering how important he has been for Juventus.
So the only issue I can see here is the extent to which Juve should have been planning for Conte's departure from the moment he intimated that it was a possibility at the end of the season that he would leave.
Could/should Juve have contacted Prandelli, for instance (not saying he would have been Juve's best option, but he would have been the most obvious one) to hold off going to Galatasaray because the Juve job may well be his in a couple of weeks? It would explain why the deal with Allegri was done so quickly if Juve had already spoken to Allegri as a contingency plan and had a broad agreement for him to take over if Conte left.
I look at the situation as it stands and while I may not particularly approve of how either Juve or Conte acted through this, I don't feel either side has acted poorly enough for me to feel any urge to apportion blame.
