You are clueless or a troll. How can you equate 2 CL finals to crashing out in the group stages multiple times?
And don’t give me that nonsense about the fact the both have 0 CL titles. By that logic every Juve manager except Trap and Lippi are failures.
Finals are worth nothing. Everything else is Arsenal mentality.
But I am willing to meet you halfway
Conte and Max shine under different premises.
Max builds on top of what Conte creates.
Max can take a well functioning team to a very high level. Conte can build a team that grinds wins against 90% of midtablovices and minnows.
This club needs Conte now and after 3 years of Conte it will need Max (or a version of Max that's not finished).
