Unfortunately, as much as I love Conte IMO he's not the right fit currently. He was the perfect manager when he took over. He brought back the hunger, desire and killer instinct that had disappeared after finishing 7th two seasons in a row. When he left I was upset, but it proved to be right. Tactically, he's not good enough at the top of Europe. I didn't want Max, but he proved that he was the right man for the Job at the time. But I think he should've gone at the end of last season. We have a team full of big names and ego's, we need someone with a track record who they will respect. Conte will scare them, but they won't respect him.
The club probably made a mistake not moving on Zidane when he was available and have paid the price. I'm not sure who the right person for the job is. Maybe Didier Deschamps, who knows???
