“At this time if I had to choose between Conte and Mourinho, I would certainly take Conte. He’s more reliable and highly preferable. Despite having won less than Mourinho, I would still take him.”
This subjective judgment was made by Mario Sconcerti as he rates the Italian coach higher than the Portuguese in a rather surprising way.
“They’re similar in terms of character, both have the fanaticism within the trade – as stated to Corriere della Sera – Conte is capable of sending you 100-line text messages on your phone because he found 2 lines that he didn’t understand in an article you’ve written. Mourinho is rancorous, he needs an enemy to make the most. In summary, I would say that Conte is more football oriented while Mourinho is more of a juggler, he has more resources. But Conte gets more from a team with no need to provoke. Mourinho loves to be hated.”
