Conte not seeing him as part of the system is plausible but his retirement/departure was confirmed during the season if I remember correctly not after we had won the title. Conte would not have had that unprecedented position of power yet. He probably would have been perceived as a very promising coach who brought us back to challenging ways. And even after winning, Conte did not have an insane level of power he actually left the club because he didnt get what we wants in the transfer market. If he was all powerful they would have caved to his demands.
I agree with you that Conte probably agreed with the decision and influenced it somehow but the decision probably came from a higher place. Judging by how DP never returned to Turin since then, its very likely that the culprit is the genius in charge of the super league hilarity, not Conte who also doesn't get along with said genius (probably). At the very least, the genius approved of how things went down with DP & Conte.

I get your point but i did kind of mentioned it in "winning ways" as in for example shortly after mid-season let's say Conte already had a strong enough word/view on who he will play and who not, doubt the board wasn't already convinced enough of his capabilities to take his assesments serious even before the Scudetto was won..
Did also a follow-up post to that where i think i've detailed it a bit better on what i think the most likely scenario might've been behind the scenes.
Anyway, it's just speculation afterall, IMO it's likely a bit of everything if we look at it without bias, however what i believe everyone can agree on is that both Agnelli and Conte had an important say in his departure at the time, while one probably weighted more on it than the other.

One thing about Totti he came back to Roma in a director role and it didn´t work out. He´s had an odd relationship with the club ever since.
In Del Piero´s case I kinda want him to keep that unblemished image as a Juve legend. If he comes back I rather want him as an ambassador or something who just does some marketing tours and shows up at games once in a while.
