Don Conte will be a SkySport pundit for CL season.

"Sky Sport Italia journalist Gianluca Di Marzio posted a photo with the former Nerazzurri coach, who is joining the team including Beppe Bergomi, Esteban Cambiasso, Fabio Capello, Paolo Condò, Alessandro Costacurta, Alessandro Del Piero, Paolo Di Canio, Luca Marchegiani, Giancarlo Marocchi and Nando Oris."

The man will be live when we qualify from our group. Oh nooo.

Why is Cuchu there? Always thought he’d be a great coach.

I assume he just doesn't want to coach. He could also just be chilling for a bit until he decides its time to get back in the game.

Personally, I think Conte is a Chicken Shit Hunchback.

His pattern of behaviour indicates that he would rather rage quit and receive a golden handshake when the clubs he coaches depart from his lofty demands rather than stay and challenge himself.

Selling Hakimi and Lukaku would have been difficult for any tactician to accept but it is not like the club have not attempted to replace those players. I am unsure as to how things are going to go for us this season but walking at the first mention of player sales was premature and shows that if he does not have optimal conditions (in terms of his demands being met) then the project is not up to his standards and he will inevitably walk.

Thanks for the Scudetto. Have fun commentating and giving your "expert" opinion on a competition in which you have little to no idea.

^the 7m compensation on top. That’s why I don’t like Conte that much anymore.

He basically leaves us as soon as difficulties arrive and, still, didn’t forget to milk to the last dire drops to fill his pocket.

While Marotta, despite the shittiest job, still sticks to us and guides us through these hard moments.

Marotta is exemplary. I honestly can not fault the guy. I often find myself wondering whether the club has someone shadowing him so he can teach and they can learn the ropes.

It honestly makes me wonder if our history would have been more fruitful and successful under Moratti if we had someone like Marotta protecting the interests of the club.

I actually think he wanted to coach this season and that's why he came to an agreement with Inter instead of going to the court but he simply didn't have good enough offers. PSG decided to stick with Pochettino, Real chose Ancelotti over him, he was never considered by Barca, Bayern decided to buy a coach from the league than going for Conte and Man Utd decided to stick with OGS. His best options were Tottenham and Arsenal and it would be a career suicide to go to either of them.

IMO he would quit just like he quit juventus because they bought Ronaldo.
Imagine Marotta handling Recoba situation where the logical thing for him is to sell him when his price is high given his inconsistency and injury problem, but Moratti want to keep him at all cost even made him the highest earner at the club :lol:

Marotta didn't quit Juventus. He was pushed aside by Agnelli and Paratici because of his disagreement about Ronaldo transfer and then Agnelli fired him because he thought the presence of Marotta kept Juventus back. And that's what makes the current situation even sweeter.

This Cunt might got o Arsenal with the transfer window closed + 0 money + 0 good players + 0 points after 3 games and -10 goals with 0 scored

yet he left us because he was going to lose Hakimi and 1 of Lautaro or Lukaku !!!

this guy at this point just is working to get contract terminations to not work and collect 10 million after a season or 2 of work…

more power to him. Wish that could be me
Yeah, that's how he always rolls and he was always gonna do it to us as well. If he didn't happen to win the league largely due to a weakened juBentus, he would probably be remembered as a farce. To imagine he nearly made it into LGI.

He had been saying several times that he would love to have finished a project that he has started from scratch and would hate starting over because of the changes made to the ongoing project. Probably both sides, before he got hired, agreed on that if the management doesn't stick to the original project they part ways. I assume he was told that Hakimi and Lukaku who were integral parts of his project were to leave, hence he left too. Understand, Conte isn't a crisis solving coach like Ranieri, he wanted a stability the likes of Guardiola, Klop are enjoying.

Anyway, he left, we won the scudetto. It was very important to win something and instill this winning mentality to the core players which Conte successfully completed. We hired a more flexible coach who can continue the "project" with very little changes. Well done Marotta, wouldn't be surprised if all these had been planned by him 3 years ago.

Antonio Conte: “Wish Inter The Best, Achraf Hakimi’s Dream Is To Play For Real Madrid”​

Former Inter head coach Antonio Conte still hopes to see the team that he departed over the summer do well, and will be rooting for the Nerazzurri in this evening’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Speaking to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia before the match this evening, Conte wishes his former club luck, as well as talking about former player Achraf Hakimi, who came to Inter from this evening’s opponents Real.

Hakimi joined Inter last summer from the Merengues, having never managed to establish himself as a regular starter in the Spanish capital, rather making a name for himself on loan with Borussia Dortmund.

The Moroccan only played one season for the Nerazzurri, having been sold to Paris Saint-Germain as the Nerazzurri needed to meet financial obligations.

As Conte explains, the 22-year-old still regrets not having been able to do more with Real, and would like to one day make an impact playing for the club where he came through the ranks.

“Psychologically Hakimi suffered a bit from last year’s matches with Real Madrid,” Conte said. “His dream is to return to play with that club as a key man.”

Of the Moroccan’s matches against Real in last season’s Champions League he said, “I remember those two games very well, in particular the unfortunate passage that led to them going a goal up in Spain. From there he worked hard and I saw a young player who wanted to learn to work.”

“He understood that what he did in the offensive phase was not enough,” Conte said, “he needed a nit of hrlp and now he is among the strongest in the world. If he still works on the last pass he can be world-class.”

On Hakimi’s replacement Denzel Dumfries he said, “They’ve signed a great player to replace Hakimi. If he can play his way into the team he can be a great replacement for him.”

On his feelings for his former club, Conte said, “There is certainly great affection, it was two beautiful and intense years. I have great memories of this group of guys and I hope that Inter can do better than we had done over the last two years.”

I got this from discord, is it not true then?

When asked about Inter, who host Real Madrid this evening, there was an interesting slip of the tongue.

“I wish Inter all the best, in the last two years we were a little unlucky in the Champions League. I retain great affection for the club and hope Inter can do better this season than we did last time."
“We signed a good player in Denzel Dumfries,” said Conte, realising he was still referring to Inter as ‘we’ and laughing to himself.
“They signed a great player and an excellent replacement for Achraf Hakimi. He can become a top player in his role."

he is cautious about getting too connected to any club. I notcied he replies to fans' comments on his instagram page, but never does so when a comment contains black and blue colors.

We need him back, but Suning must sell Inter first to PIF.
