But Trap and Lippi both left Juve for Inter!!!

and everyone sees them as legends
Okay, but Trap had a whole decade as coach in his first spell, thats 10 years filled with major success both in Italy and Europe, 6 Serie A`s, Coppa`s, UEFA and a CL with the rest of the silverware. Thats very, very good accomplishment, top class stuff for a manager. He then went to Inter and won with them too - Scudetto and UEFA. His level was/is undeniable, a worldclass, superb tactician and I dont know what our fans` reaction was when he got back to Juve but I imagine that the majority of them still rated him highly and knew that a worldclass manager and a proven winner with huge history with Juventus takes the managers seat for a second time.
Lippi also had superb first spell and won both in Italy and in Europe, I count 9 trophies overall from 94 to 99. That is more than enough to win the love and affection of the fans, and sure, he spent only one season at Inter not winning a thing and he got them eliminated from the CL qualifications by Helsinborgs, which as a juventino is very cool
Lippi got back and won again with Juve.
Both were pre-Farsopoli though, we cant compare them with the current situation with Conte. He gave it all to motivate a group of people to overperform and get back to the top of Serie A without losing a single game - outstanding accomplishment, next he dominated more before beasting with 102 points, he was loved, criticized only about his CL exit and not winning the 1/2final with Benfica to play the EL final at home. Then he quit like a week or two before the season start, got two different jobs before taking on Inter and making them instantly the main Juve`s opponent.
My point is, both Trap and Lippi beat Conte based on success, especially in Europe and even if fans were/are okay with both Trap and Lippi getting a second spell at Juve after managing Inter, respecting all they did for the club before, all of this cannot be compared to the after Farsopoli times, the tention between the two clubs is 100times bigger now, I think the hate has never been that big in the history between the two clubs, no wonder fans asked for Conte`s star to be removed, no wonder that he may be severely whistled and insulted on March 1st, etc... Most fans wont forgive him for going to Inter and if he ever is a candidate for a second spell at Juve I believe that he wont be welcomed warmly with arms wide open, especially if he manages to get Inter back on the map and wins them a trophy or more...
