Someone in the mould of Palladino or Thiago Motta should be next. Not another attempt to relive the past. He abandoned us, we moved on; plain and simple.

How on earth are we doing that? We have one youngster after the other showcasing their talents right now....
BUT the main difference is, we used to have midfielders to boss the game all day long. Right now we're relying on Rabiot to be our freaking leader there. What we need are 2 class midfielders and the team will transform immediately.

Conte is instant success in Italy, no question about it, but again, once he leaves it'll be the same problem that we have now. Marotta was smart for taking Inzaghi to Inter, but you can see that he is far worse than Conte.
When you revolutionise, you do it from top to bottom. You take a foreign manager, new formation, new transfer policy, new training methods, all of it needs to change. You might have to take a shot with a trophyless manager, but if it breaks the cycle then so be it.
Even though he'd win nothing, someone like Bielsa would really shake Jj up and I'd take it. I don't want to hear about ex-players unless it's Zidane.

Bielsa would be like signing Conte, except with even much more drama and none of the trophies. There are many reasons as to why Bielsa has never coached a top club in his long career.

To move away from the 352 we need a coach to request and Guintoli to commit to it.
We don't have the squad to play a back 4 over a whole season. For that we would need to let go of one of the Americans and prioritize wingers and fullback signings.

People don't like to hear this, but in a way Conte is exactly what we need. His managing attitude pretty much boils down to one thing: instilling a sense of pride and identity in a team. He demands success at big teams, because big teams should win. And he is able to convey that to his players.
Not everything about Conte is great. I'm not sure he'd be my first pick. But he is very strong in an aspect of the game we are severely lacking in right now.

Why?
Conte made both Jj and Inter into winning machines, both were a total mess before he came. My point was that Conte would take us up a level, but he wouldn't do it in Europe. Allegri elevated us in Europe for sure, but there rarely comes a time when you have that elite squad and at that moment, you have to win the UCL. With Conte and any magnificent squad, he'd fall short because he's stubborn. Allegri has become like that now, I don't trust either of them to level us up where it matters so it's time and money wasted.
Just think of how much time and investment it takes to make that UCL winning squad and who you'd want in charge. We're years away from that point, but we need to do something radically different this time. The fact that we didn't win Europa last year was a reality check, that's a competition with mediocre teams only.

In hindsight sure, Lukaku >>> Icardi, + points galore, indeed. But at that point Lukaku was a fat guy that flopped at ManU while Icardi was basically 90% of Inters attack and on pace for club legend status. Some, possibly a lot of the success of Lukakus career U-turn at the point surely belongs to Conte.
