It just seems like an odd choice so far from any important tournaments.
Looking at this from Belgian perspective, i disagree.


2 years ago belgium with crappy crap that made failures and had individuals who never made a collective, let alone a collective action.
Then came Leekens, who did much good work with the team, and when he was nearly done he fucked off to club brugge cause of shitload of money
After Leekens came the idiotcoach Wilmots, who basically is a mental coach who was given the wrong job, and qualified for the 2014 world cup on the back of Leekens work, and made semi finals there, before we noticed you really need an actual coach to go further.

Translating to italy, we see a generation signing out, and a bunch of young crap , and a good youngster here and there.

They need to build now. Players like Rossi, Berardi, El Sharaawy, Verratti, Barofltelli, Insigne etc, this is the bunch from wich the new keyplayers will be chosen.
So picking Conte now, is a good thing, since he can call up many youth shit for the friendlies, and see what he likes

Best wishes to Antonio in this new endeavour.

I'll always be grateful to him for the way he helped raise this club up after back to back fucking 7th place finishes. Three scudetti in three seasons is nothing short of outstanding.

Too bad the way it ended, but very likely more complicated than most here are painting it. I wish him the best with the Azzurri, and who knows, maybe he'll even be back at the club one day.

Good for Conte - got himself a hefty pay raise for about 20% of the previous workload (10 games/year, give or take, half of which would be friendlies). Good luck seeing him come out on the short end of the stick.

Giving all the credit to Leekens? IMO the credit needs to be given to Advocaat.

what is wrong with wilmots? he got you guys to qf of the world cup?
IMO, nothing much wrong with Wilmots, but for some reason, zach doesn't like him.
I want to give him credit until after EC2016. He made some strange choices during the WC (f.e. not using Januzaj much but using Chadli or Dembele) but all in all, I think he did OK for his first big test as coach.
Although he might have been a bit to defensive during the WC.

I have just had a chat with a journo friend who is a juventino and gives me plenty of news before they become public.
I have not read the whole thread hence do not know if it was mentioned, but he is 100% sure that someone told Agnelli on the first day of ritiro that Conte had signed a contract with PSG to start NEXT season. When Agnelli found out went completely mad and confronted Conte who admitted to it; Agnelli said there was no reason to continue a relationship for another season (understandably). After Conte left Juve, PSG have started to push to have him straight away.
Look at some of my previous posts, I have never got things wrong (Allegri/Moggi etc) and I am sure my friend is not bullshitting me.
you can tease me as much as you want but you can easily check that I was the first to write on this forum that Moggi was Allegri's agent. And the news went public in Italy only the day after. My source is the same. And the same guy told me about Tevez and a few other things before they became public so I have no reasons to not trust him. I am 47 and a successful asset manager, I don't really need to bullshit on a forum to feel self accomplished.
