The more he talks about his past with Juve, the more we will hate him... He makes himself look like the best coach ever. He is being arrogant.... We stood with him during his downs and he dumps us like this as if he wasn't a true die hard bianconeri. His words make him seem like he did all of this just for himself, not for the team...

Edit: I won't forgive Conte, UNLESS he comes back to save us again when we are going through our downs... Otherwise, it means that his heart doesn't bleed black and white as ours...

you can have problems with Conte but hating him is just wrong, he did a lot to revitalize us, personally I will always respect him as one of the good coaches we had post Calciopoli.......
what I dislike about him is the introduction of the cancerous 3-5-2 to our Juve eyes......

But don't the comments he says irritate you after leaving us?

well you know that's how he is....

Its like he is no longer proud he coached juventus...

Antonio Conte, the future loser, former winner.

Thats what supposed to be his name in here... Unless he returns.

Why Conte, Why?
By Adam Digby July 22,2014

Juventus are once again at the center of an event which has completely reshaped the landscape of the game in Italy.

There was no warning. Like a stone thrown into a pond, the news shattered the serene peace of Turin’s grand Old Lady.
Even in an age of twenty-four hour news coverage, Antonio Conte’s resignation as Juventus manager arrived like a lightning strike, the first whispers leaking less than fifteen minutes before the club confirmed the 44-year-old had quit. Later, a recorded interview from Conte, a former Juventus captain, confirmed his own departure, and an open letter from Juventus President Andrea Agnelli attempted to console ailing supporters, thanking Conte for the “three years in which we rewrote this club’s history” and noting that the news had “saddened him greatly.” Supporters felt exactly the same way, deeply shocked that the man responsible for transforming La Madama back into a serial winner was gone.

Before Conte’s arrival in 2011, Juventus had lost what made it so great, and the the conviction and spirit that had always defined the club was decimated by years of mismanagement. But under Conte, that changed: despite finishing in seventh place in two consecutive Serie A campaigns, the club instantly became champions under the guidance of the former Siena coach. Despite having only nineteen games of top flight experience, Conte not only led them to the league title in his inaugural season, but he also did so without losing a single game.
It didn’t stop there. Not content with following that undefeated season with a second Scudetto, Conte would steer Juventus into the Champions League quarter-final. His third year would see the club record an all-time high points total (102), a perfect home record, and end the season with a comfortable seventeen point lead over second placed Roma.

And then, just like that, he was gone.

Agnelli said in his statement that “Juventus must continue on its path,” and indeed she must, the loss of the manager another obstacle for the Bianconeri to overcome in its relentless pursuit of glory. It appears Conte’s pathological desire to win had left him exhausted and unable to continue, although the true reasons for the resignation may never be known.

What is evident is that the club acted quickly following the news, appointing Massimiliano Allegri the very next day. Fans protested outside the club’s training ground as the new manager held his inaugural press conference, angry at the former AC Milan boss taking a seat on the nation’s most prestigious bench. With the 46-year-old overseeing the Rossoneri’s worst season in the recent history, their displeasure was understandable, although it may be misplaced. (The most important words of this article)

Allegri had many flaws during his San Siro tenure, but he was no more responsible for the continued exodus of Milan’s top stars than Conte was for Juventus taking three years to find him a competent goal scorer. The manager—sacked last January with his side languishing in mid-table—was a convenient scapegoat for a dysfunctional management structure floundering in football’s modern era.

But any impact Allegri may hope to have is superseded by that of Conte’s exit, now a fixed point in the timeline of Juventus’ storied history. Like the Gregorian calendar, it could be a moment in time where everything that happens afterwards is viewed as a direct result of his exit, “before Conte left” could become part of the daily vocabulary of Italian football fans just as Calciopoli has.

Like that scandal of 2006, the Bianconeri are once again at the center of an event which has completely reshaped the landscape of the game on the peninsula. With Juventus still not fully recovered from the after-effects of Luciano Moggi’s punishment, they must hope these most recent developments do not cause equal damage.

If that may seem overly dramatic, it must be remembered just how much Conte affected every single aspect of his side, how meticulous and persuasive his approach and style was upon his players. Even an established star like Andrea Pirlo has spoken about how awestruck he was by a coach who had “fire running through his veins and moved like a viper.” Writing in his autobiography, Pirlo recalled Conte’s edict to his team that—as Juventus players—they had “a moral obligation” to win. He went on to describe the manager as a man “completely immersed in his job and possessing a never-ending inner torment.” A winner.

Now that Conte is gone, Pirlo and his teammates face a unique opportunity. They must  prove that they can win without their incredible leader. Antonio Conte has thrown a huge stone into La Madama’s still waters, and now it is up to the players to not let the waves wash over them,  but to stand and fight and win just as he taught them to.

Report: Conte to quit Italy?

There are shock reports Antonio Conte could quit as Italy Coach just four months after his appointment.

The tactician was only appointed in late August after sensationally resigning from Juventus one day into pre-season training in July.

According to newspaper Libero, Conte is deeply disappointed with the FIGC and broken promises that were made to him when he agreed to take the job.

Conte was visibly irritated in several Press conferences when lambasting the authorities and Serie A clubs for not co-operating for the good of the Nazionale.

He has demanded a get-together with players before the next planned friendly in March, but the clubs are hesitating.

There is a meeting with other Serie A Coaches on December 16 and that could well be the make or break moment for Conte’s tenure.

PLEASE!

Conte: 'It hurts to watch Juve'

Italy Coach Antonio Conte admits it “still hurts” to see his old side Juventus, as they “achieved miracles” together.

“I think I chose a lot with my head and not so much with my heart, because my heart would’ve let me stay at Juve for infinity,” Conte told Tuttosport of his decision to quit last summer.

“When I took over, we were up against a strong side like Milan who had Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic and their old guard. Four years ago, the Rossoneri were like Juve are today.

“Pushing that team off the throne and taking their place was our masterpiece: mine and the players. We achieved miracles together. However, to get there we used up so much energy in all areas.

“In May 2014 the club and I agreed to wait and see if certain situations could be shaken off. My choice to leave was with a heavy heart, but it was honest. You can see in my farewell video how much it hurt to take that step, but I did think and continue to believe it was the right solution for everyone.”

The tactician has been touring all the Serie A clubs to speak with Coaches, players and staff about training methods.
Juve had been consistently pushed back down the calendar, but the get-together finally happened on Friday.

“When I see the players I had a very intense rapport with... I’ll be honest, it hurts to watch Juventus. It happened to me in the past, when I left Bari. It’s above all an emotional strain.

“Today Juve are in ideal conditions: the revenue is up, because with great sacrifice we were able to surpass everyone. Now the Bianconeri must do everything to stay up there, whereas the others will try to chip away at the foundations of the skyscraper we constructed.”

What does this say?

That Conte had already accepted to be Milan's coach in June....

IF Inzaghi loses against Lazio he is a goner according to DiMario and Montela and Conte are the main targets.

After all this club did for him especially during that 'fixing games' scandal, and in the first storm the club had he left. All other theories about Pogba,Vidal have fallen in water....

He already accepted in june (aveva già accettato a giugno) was refered to whether the Italian Federation is willing to allow him to have a double club.

I highly doubt Conte is going to accept that role because:
1)He's a Juventus legend
2)The Milan's job is one of the worst right now, for every coach in the world. Limited power to change things and first one to be scapegoated if things don't go well
3)He wants a top and established team, he already went through the small club or big club that is having a crisis and in need to resurge phase. If he's going to coach somewhere he's going to coach PSG.

Nope Katy, he didn't accept in June he distanced himself from the NT spot as a coach. All reports say that he accepted the Milan role in June, from his wife to his best friend even Nedved was spotted saying that to a reporter.

nedved and his wife said it? Yeah its ok, now that he quot juve in the worst possible time, its ok if he coaches another italian team. He dgaf.

What do you mean by this? And I kind of a agree with Katy about the fact that he won't coach AC Milan.

What do you mean of course he'll take that job. He coached and played for Juve, and he left the Serie A champions so he can later go on to coach AC Milan? I mean it's not impossible, but I doubt it. Not saying they're shit, but they haven't been playing well these past two seasons.

Unless you were being sarcastic that is.

No, I was not.

His fate will be decided tomorrow. I hope that he quits...

Something that doesn't affect us at all.

Actually it does.... Cuz he may be Milan coach next season if he quits... Hmmm

salmano9 wrote:Actually it does.... Cuz he may be Milan coach next season if he quits... Hmmm

And how would that affect us? Our club should look after its own interest, watch over our transfer targets, supply our coach and improve our team. As long as we are looking at our competition we lose. I don't care what Conte does, tbh I started disliking him long time ago.

if he joins Milan, I think that the competition in Serie A wouls be so much higher.

I don't care tbh, Allegri managed to always give him a fight with 2 weaker squad and I am sure he will do that even now with this squad. I simply don't care, I thank him for everything done here as coach and as player he is a legend but I dislike him.
