You can't dismiss a coach based on his results with Tottenham. That club has so much loser DNA in its genes it's impossible for anyone to win. Even Mourinho tried and lost FFS. People on this forum have a very short attention span. It's almost fascinating. Just go through the comments. You'd think Conte hasn't won anything for decades.
You know what his last trophy was? The Serie A title with Inter in 2020-21 in a two year spell at Inter. Before that he won the 2016-17 Premier League title during a two year spell at Chelsea. This means that in his last three jobs he won the league twice. And he didn't need to spend years building teams either. He went there and won. Because he didn't take bullshit from anyone.
It's pretty impossible to like Conte on a personal level. He's so over the top with his rage outbursts he doesn't even look like a real person anymore. But saying he's a bad candidate for this job is just silly.
Agreed on Spurs, I wasn't expecting them to win anything. But he had good players and went backwards. I expected them to be solid at the very least, which they weren't. They also often played the negative, deep sitting, reactive football that has been a problem under Allegri.
Chelsea he did an excellent job. It was 7 years ago though. Inter he did OK, I thought he'd do better in his first season. His 2nd he had no challenge but won the scudetto.
I think you can forgive posters for not hanging onto past glories given where we are with Allegri. I think there needs to be an appreciation that managers don't stand still. Tactics become outdated and mentality/drive/ability to relate to players can change. I'd say Conte seems more and more irritable and seems to get caught up in needless drama these days. He's always been a dramatic coach but he seems less able to let things slide, which can be a distraction for his teams.
