Conte's contribution at what could be perhaps one of the most trying times in our history, can never be overrated or undermined. There was absolutely no guarantee Juve would've returned to their former greatness had it been another coach, with the team that was on paper. Anyone can win you a title when you buy the best players or use a huge transfer kitty. But Conte did something different. It could've easily been Juve staring at years in oblivion before being a relevant club domestically or in Europe. It is here that Conte's influence went a long way in laying the right kind of foundation, and at the time, even with the benefit of hindsight, I can tell you there was no better man for the job, including Allegri.
It is wrong not to have gratitude towards the man who helped kickstart a new era of success for the club. Conte's work must be heralded, if not for the football, then for recreating the one thing that no amount of money can buy: champion mentality.
Conte was a key figure in the resurrection of Juve, along with the owners, management and the players. In Contes first year he had Buffon, Bonucci, Barza, Chiello, Licht, Pirlo, Marchisio, Vidal and had the advantage of only playing once a week. So basically he had a WC goalkeeper, defense and midfield and a below par attack. The next year Pogba and Asamoah was added the following year Llorente and Tevez. Except for the first year he had the best squad in Italy so he hardly pulled of any miracles winning the scudetto 3 times in a row.
I think Conte did great here, but stating that he will be a key figure in the next 50 years of Juves history and comparing him to a man like Crueff, who changed football as a coach and a player, is a massive overrating of Contes impact for Juve and football in general.
In the next 50 years we will have ups and downs, but what will make us a winning time in general in those 50 years, is the winning mentality and history of the club and not Contes 3 year coaching of the club.
