MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 They are actually. Just check out how frequently they used to change managers before Conte. I agree that he has not been successful in CL, but Morata who joined to Juve after Conte left made a huge difference. In CL he scored consecutively in five or six matches now. When he doesn't play Juve struggles in the league too. I did not say he is the perfect coach btw.. Among the options we have he is the best in my opinion.Carlo as football director, Conte as coach would be the perfect combination actually.Only because they were absolutely shit before Conte, I remember 5 years ago when they lost to Fulham in the Europe league or something. If Juve consistently finish in top 2 I doubt the manager would get the sack and Ancelotti would most likely be able to do that with Juve's current squad or any half decent manager will be able to actually. Also I doubt Carlo will ever comeback here, didn't he said in his book that he was ruthlessly sacked over the phone by Roman after the Everton game and promised if he was to return to a previous club one day it will be Milan.

Sometimes first place doesn't even cut it.Juve announced that they had sacked Carlo Ancelotti at half-time during their 2-1 win over Atalanta on Sunday. Never mind that he had recently signed a two-year extension to his contract. Never mind that it was their 11th game without defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 They are actually. Just check out how frequently they used to change managers before Conte. Before Conte, Juventus sacked 3 managers in 2 years - Ciro Ferrara, Alberto Zaccheroni and Luigi Delneri - and I think MrBlueGuy has mentioned the reason for that. Otherwise, many before that got at least 2-3 years at the club. Compare to some clubs, they aren't really trigger happy. I agree that he has not been successful in CL, but Morata who joined to Juve after Conte left made a huge difference. In CL he scored consecutively in five or six matches now. When he doesn't play Juve struggles in the league too. Morata is a good player and has been on form in the Champions League but to use him as a reason why Juventus struggled under Conte in Europe is clutching at straws. He also had many good players under him - Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba, Tevez, Marchisio etc - and with the squad he got, he should have done better. And Juventus hardly struggled in the league last season without Morata. It's only more of an issue this season since they let a few of their key players go. Carlo as football director, Conte as coach would be the perfect combination actually. That's unlikely to happen in reality. Suspect Ancelotti is keeping one eye on the job at Roma.

Adnane 1,101 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 And I don't find that surprising for Bran, he is physically weak at the moment ( the reason opponents litterally walk past him ), and has been holding his hamsting a few times on the last 2 or 3 games ( mostly against Porto ), makes total sense.His body can't do it anymore...

Tomo 21,751 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Matic won't start a game under Jose again for a long time, he is getting Pepe/Casillas treatment now.Well given the fact Carlo also choose Lopez (initially) and Rafa choose Navas doesnt that vindicate that particular choice?

Adnane 1,101 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Remember when Azpi initially broke into the starting eleven ? A. Cole had picked up an injury for 2 or 3 weeks, couldn't get back regularly in the team after that.Also, in the weeks preceding that, Ashley had become a liability, not as much as Iva today maybe but we did notice that..It is actually scary, Ash had picked up that injury around 6th October 2013...
