He made a commitment to Italy, and to abandon them right before the tournament would be disgraceful IMO. There's a reason why international managers manager's contracts usually end after major tournaments. It's the culmination of 2 years hard work. I don't think City fans expected Pep to quit Bayern right before the knock-out stages of the CL started. I'd have less respect if did just leave them in the lurch.No reason to Scolari didn't that time.Plus if know now whose coming hopefully give time to prepare before euros rather then after.in dream world anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the more important thing is to see how Italy fare under Conte in that tournament. They haven't been entirely convincing so far.

Popular Post! petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted March 14, 2016 Popular Post! Share Posted March 14, 2016 Can only speculate on Conte's tactics, but I really hope he goes for 4-4-2 with two pure centre forwards. No Oscar and no "number 10" bullshit, just the two centre midfielders, two wide midfielders and two strikers. Leicester thrive under this system and it seems that it is the perfect match for EPL these days. You can also cover an awful lot of space on the pitch by using it.

Imagine a striker partnership between Dybala or Cavani with Costa in that 4-4-2 formation....delicious!

Well, Chelsea seems bound to miss Champions League football next season, so I find it hard that the likes of Higuain, Benzema or any other top striker could be persuaded into coming here. My choice would be Cavani, though. Read this morning that Paris have decided to let him go this summer should anyone meet their evaluation - £31m. Fair price if you ask me. Hard working and a superb player in his day. Still a predator, shame he had a superstar like Ibrahimovic as his competitor for the centre forward spot. I know he is 29 already, but who cares. Luis Suarez is 29, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 If we go with two strikers it should be Costa plus another more creative striker ala Aguero/Tevez. Think two typical finishers like Costa and Cavani would not work. At juve, Tevez was as i remember also half playmaker and thats something Cavani or Costa or Higuain cant do. For two strikers we will need someone else to play along Costa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Drogba 2,000 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 National team performance of a manager hardly indicates anything about his performance in club competitions and vice versa. His transfer list which he can't have as a national team manager is much more important for us than what he does in the Euro cup.
