That's fine.
It's enough to lay foundations on which new successful period could be built.
Look at merda, they still use his playstyle little bit updated by inzagi. We sow it happen with inzagi at merda and allegri in first stint at Juventus. Throaters were crying when this was explained before, that allegri is fraud who was successful only because of Conte, but patern is here and everyone could see it now.

I disagree. Did Spurs built on the foundations he put? Did Chelsea? Those two successful examples (Juve and Inter) had a director who knew what he was doing. Not that I don't want his appointment, because it at least gives you a shot of being a team. But with this current management I won't put money on success post Conte.
I'd agree, the majority of the build comes from the Director. He is the one responsible for long term planning of the team.
Conte will always be focussed on immediate success. Transfers like requesting Lukaku show that. He is a useful player for a season or 2 but he is at the latter part of his career, his value will be going down and he will need replaced in a couple of seasons.
But what Conte does bring is a change in mentality. He creates an environment which is competitive, players who don't work will not be tolerated and usually a winning mentality. For long term success, Conte and a good Director is an excellent combination. But that change in mentality can't be understated and something this club badly needs.
The potential problem you have is if Conte wants short term targets and the Director looks to build for longer.

I hate that most people have no idea of nuance. Two things can be true at the same time- yes Conte set up Allegri up for success, but Allegri himself did a fantastic job- especially in his first three years.
it’s not an either/or thing.
I massively respect both Conte (despite disliking him post-Juve) and Allegri 1.0 (despite his poor second stint) for their contributions.

Remember a time when people tired of winning Serie A and wanted a manager who could possibly bring European glory.

And anyway; being dominant in Italy usual translates to us to at least doing somewhat reasonably in Europe.
