Exactly.

We need to stop this notalgic BS.

He's not the only competent DS in the world of football, just as Conte isn't the only capable coach in the world.

Yes, we need to retain an Italian core, but that philosophy doesn't have to extend to management, when there are a plethora of very qualified sporting directors and coaches who are not fucking Italian.

Lobby power and network is important in Italian football hence having an Italian management is important. Shouldn't necessarily extend for coaches tho.

It all went downhill the moment we sacked him.

Shoot yourself in the foot moment. Grazie AA you fucking moron.
I never believed our (or any other team's) success is/was down to just one man.
But maybe I'm wrong since you can basically pinpoint the exact moment our downfall started.

You are right, he isn't.
But he is the only competent one Juve has had in the past 2 decades.

the reason why foreign sporting directors are unusual in italy is italy itself. look at monchi, he was competent before and after roma, did a great job at sevilla and aston villa is also a good team with him and emery, yet he was a complete clown show in italy. it's a special environment

i'd bring back marotta too, but he's too deeply embedded in the inda swamp already

One man can make a difference. Look at Man Utd post Alex Ferguson
