“We know the truth about Antonio Conte: he wanted to return to Juventus at all costs now and then but in neither case did he find fertile ground to do so”, writes the director of the Juventus website Bianconeranews, Claudio Zuliani, also commenting on the Conte’s approach to Napoli: “The Juventus fans have been divided since that day but this time too, many hoped that Antonio could return home. The facts tell us that after a few years he strongly regretted having abandoned us that Hot July 16th when no one expected it once the training camp had started. Why didn’t they buy him Cuadrado? No, come on, those are small excuses.
Reality tells us of a character, that of Antonio, that has become increasingly stronger with the passing of victories and that has led him today to declare: “I am a manager and I decide”. This is the point. President Andrea Agnelli is someone who does not forget and when Allegri closed his first Juventus cycle he left the decision to Nedved and Paratici who veered towards master Sarri.
Conte has chosen the dark side of the force and many Juventus fans have taken a note of it even though he, in unsuspecting times, said that a professional goes where he is called and dedicates himself entirely to the team he is working for at that moment.. The same situation has occurred again this spring with Antonio free and Juve looking for a new coach to replace Allegri, once again. Today’s technical director, Giuntoli, like those of the time, preferred a new solution rather than bringing home a finished manager who knows everything about the world of Juve but who claims to be in charge.: from the sports sector to the communication sector. This is Antonio’s strength but at the same time his biggest limitation. If on one hand you are certain that he will make the most of his players, on the other you have to accept living with a constant hammer that wants to have the last word. And today as then, Juventus could not/did not want to accept it”.
