whinni09 37 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I would love to see Conte in Chelsea but at the same time I will be sad to see that Hiddink has to go.. Mixed feelings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanicus 5,208 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,602 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 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. Henrique 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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." Polo7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

raven8472 32 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,994 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 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 6,602 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
