Hate him or love him, you cant deny this man’s organisational skills, his eye for talent, the respect he has from the players, and the motivation he gives them.
I knew he would pick rano and pablo, he’s always been a fan of our captain, hes been trying to lure him to juve for three mercatos. As for osvaldo, why wouldnt he? A versatile player with character; everything balotelli should be.
Im glad he got the nod ahead of allegri. Good for the italian football, and bad for juve 😀
It’s hard to say this since he was our archrival , but I believe the man is better than mediocre anti Inter Prandelli who never won anything in his career
Conte has great eye for talent and might be the answer to the Italian NT.
Conte is a great coach. Azzurri wins trophies when it has Inter players! Good luck captain Rano and newborn Osvaldo!
that what i call it #fact 🙂 … 1 man from interista = 10 men from juve … they don’t have to be sad this is fact :).
i think this guy is better than scumbag prandelli
though conte is a rival by his nature as juve’s player and coach, but i regard him more than prandelli.
conte’s willing to visit appiano last week was highly appreciated
Hmm, also no Cassano. :O
And no Balo. Smart man.
i might like this guy now
