“I do, I say, I command”, here’s why Milan didn’t want Conte (Gazzetta)

Two days after the presentation conference of Anthony Conte in Naples, the Gazzetta dello Sport writes about it to try to explain why Antonio is the new coach of the blue club and not of the red and black one, as the fans would have hoped.

Marco Pasotto writes that Conte’s conference respected the cliché: “Eyes of fire, words of fire, chest out, pride in one’s work and one’s professionalism.” The Lecce coach allows Napoli to lift up after a disappointing year, which is what even Milan fans would have wanted. Instead, they got Fonseca

Why didn’t Conte go to Milan?

But was there a possibility that Conte would take up residence at Milanello? Not really, writes the Gazzetta, clarifying that the no came from Milan. “If anything, it was on the other side – via Aldo Rossi side – that the track never really took off. When examined, probably yes. But then she remained there like this, like a faulty little devil who can’t light a fire.”

“To understand why, just go and watch or re-read Conte’s one-man show from the last few hours. It is the plastic representation of the reasons that led owners and management to ring other bells. One man show, indeed. Such a long list of “I”, in the sense of I say, I do, I decide, I command. And, mind you, there’s nothing wrong with that. Each coach has the right to interpret the role as he sees fit and each club has the right to rely on the manager he deems most suitable. The essence of the matter lies right here, and putting Conte and Fonseca next to each other already explains practically everything.”
