The Next Manager?

[Melanicus 5,208]

Conte is first and foremost a man manager. He'll send every single one of his players repeatedly through purgatory until they develop an iron will, or decide that it can't be done and dump them. He values discipline, stamina, willpower and hunger and isn't above using the less illustrous option more often if it means that they can run their freaking asses off. He seems to favour his brand of 3-5-2, which is defensively strong but can result in the attack being isolated from the midfield if the latter doesn't pull their weight,

Strengths:

• Doesn't take shit from anyone, he's always the boss

• Pretty much turns his players spartanic

• Has a strong core strategy and ideology that provides for steady performances

Weaknesses:

• Can get too assertive and is not above clashing heads with club management. With Abramovich as top dog we might as well just bring out the popcorn right away.

• The players that aren't mentally up to his standards are discarded without much of a second thought, perhaps too easily

• He's not very tactically adaptable. Even if he chooses to play another formation it'll pretty much be the same thing going on on the pitch, and Conte's brand of football is not very creative or exciting.

 

So yeah, every one of his strengths can pretty much be a double-edged sword.

That's not my post. Just copied from another forum from a Juve fan to start a discussion.

Why did he leave Juve? Just wondering.

Conte had disagreements with the Juventus board that's why he left.

[Fernando 6,453]

I still think Hiddink should have stayed one more season.

Plus Conte won't be available now since he will be in the euro.

This will not start good me thinks since Conte won't have time this summer with the team.

Conte resigned as manager in 2015 after a clash with the Juventus hierarchy over transfer policy, a feud Italian Federation President Carlo Tavecchio confirmed in an interview.

“Juve and Conte didn't have a good relationship. He has a very strong personality, and things were complicated by an economic dispute between him and the club."

Conte is versatile, formation-wise. He doesn't play 3-5-2 just for the sake of it and it worked well for him at Juventus because he had the right personnel. Doubt he's dumb to go with that formation when he doesn't have the players for it and when a back 3 system doesn't really work well in the Premier League.

Allegations of match fixing cover up  etc in regards to Conte , Im guessing this has been (hopefully )resolved. We all know what the English Media is like if there are any skeletons in the closet.

Apparently there's going to be another preseason tour over here in the States. Directly after the Euro's.

Smart thinking, that. Just what we need with a new manager coming in and with Pep/Mou/Wenger/Poch/Klopp to compete with. Expect another poor start if this is the case.

[Fernando 6,453]

 

Conte expected to be announced within 10 days. 

So what's your thought on this?

Does the man has any chance?

False hope for us?

Back to the relegation zone?

Top 4?

Title contenders?

Sounds good for me, I would prefer him than Simeone anyway.

 

Now let's bring Vidal in as well!

Not following Juve closely but the whole deal with his exit I think was because he wanted to change Juve's style.

He wanted to change the 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 and in order to do that he wanted to get rid off some of the key players and buy quality wingers (one on his list was Cuadrado I think). And the Juve board just didn't seem to have the same vision as him.

So,guys, do you think this is gonna have a positive effect on the team if we announce him before the end of the season? Like players will try to prove their worth to the new manager? Or it's gonna have the opposite effect like Man City and Pellegrini?

Think the players have too much respect for Guus to down tools. I don't really see any point in announcing anything during the season.
