And it does seem no manager wants to take a gamble because of the pressure that they'll be if it doesnt pay off.Hiddink should've as no pressure but hey.

Got a huge huge huge job to do!

Verratti and Marchisio out of euro, I hear alot of italy supporters saying that they are doomed because Conte has no clue about rotation and altering teams...

Nonsense, I ought to think Conte is smart enough to get us out of the group stage and maybe, with luck, to the quarter final, even without them. He has tinkered a lot with formations and lineups, i'm sure he already has an idea on how to contain their absences.

Well I cant say from experience because I only saw Italy few times, but a lot of fans say he will play the likes of Parolo and Montolivo who should have no place in first 11 haha and meanwhile he overlooked Insigne and Bonaventura who should play more.

Insigne played the last two friendlies, Bonaventura couldn't because of sickness, but trained with the team. Parolo is solid-ish, and yes Montolivo should be nowhere near a national team shirt  8 times out of 10 Conte can get it right so far for me.

Poor guy leave his national team job to work which a bunch of turds. Finishing in the top 10 next year will be a marvel.

Absolutely spot on!! Maybe managers should be given a two-three year insurance otherwise it can really get disadvantageous for the youth especially in the premier league

I really feel sorry for Conte because is taking over a squad full of shit footballers.

Hopefully for his sake he is given enough funds to rebuild.

[lucio 5,418]

probably couldn't have a better man for the job, a history of rebuilding. and isn't simple minded enough to stick with a formation

i really do have high hopes

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Fairly certain he'll be losing his hair again when he takes this shite on. 

[chrismada9 1,948]

For next season... I only have two words for Antonio Conte...

"No pressure!"

[Pizy 18,861]

Let's hope (pray) he's able to personally convince Bonucci to make the move to Chelsea. He's the only type of CB you can buy that'll instantly improve our back 4. No more cheap penny pinching and looking for deals. Pay what it takes and get a proper JT successor.
