The results he managed against Barcelona were quite impressive, especially when they beat them at the San Siro two seasons ago (before getting destroyed 4-0 )
If both Vidal and Pogba stay and he uses other formations beside the 3-5-2 then I like our chances in the CL. I know Conte didn't have the players to change around formations and who knows if he stayed with Evra and couple more signs how things might have turned out. But for now I'm optimist for the upcoming season.
Salzburg are gonna be really scary to meet.They press incessantly and have some pace about them.With our tendency to underestimate weaker opposition,we could again be facing Europa after 3 games.
That's including Europa League, where he has 62.5% win rate. Solely in CL Conte's win rate was 37.5% or 6 wins in 16 matches.
Without going into how will Allegri cope in CL, six wins in sixteen CL matches was really bad considering the team we had.
