We have to be fair he did take a 7th place Juventus and go undefeated. It wasn’t like they spent a ton. But he did have a more positive atmosphere with better management in place than current Napoli team.He really didn't if you think about it, not in a sense that napoli wants and needs right now. And he just isn't a type of manager to do that. With us, he managed to pick up a really good momentum spalleti started and take it to another level and capitalize on the absolutely stellar mercato we had that year. People tend to forget everywhere he worked he had competent club mngmt behind him, which imo isn't the case in napoli right now. Even in juve when he first came he had marotta, stable ownership and fuck you money compared to other teams that fought for top spots in those years.
So in short, he is a great dude to hire when you need a leap from a manager like spalleti to actually winning something. He gives you that winning mentality and finishing touches, when you already built a solid foundation. The current problem with napoli is they need to take a couple of steps backwards in order to move forward, and conte is lost there, lol.
What de laurentis needed to do is realize the current status of his team and bring someone like de zerbi and start all over again. Instead, arrogant fuck probably thought oh this is a team that won scuddetto we just need a proper coach and everything will click.
They should have just sold Kvara imo. Go full Conte. Dump the wingers. Use the 100M to overhaul the squad.We have to be fair he did take a 7th place Juventus and go undefeated.

Napoli team is currently toxic. Two best players don’t want to be there. Squad is built for different formation. It’s probably a worse situation than he realized when he agree for take the job.
However, I still think Conte is a great coach and can turn around a team. He just needs a team that will actually buy in and one that fits his playing system.
Atalanta currently demolishing Lecce. Brace for Brescianini and Retegui.
Our matchday 3 against Atalanta will be tough.
this didn't age wellso atalanta will be without scamacca koopmeiners and lookman
and scalvini
and zaniolo
tough
can anyone explain why Juve have that much money to spend? How is this compatible with FFP?Conte would love to go back to Juve. Not only because it's Juve, a club that he's tied to and will always have a bigger appeal than Napoli, but also because they were already used to back 3 and transition would be easier. Also where are you getting from Juve have no money for transfers? Juve have spent the most in transfers from Italian clubs this summer.
They spent 50m for Luiz, 20m for Di Gregorio, 20m for Thuram, 15m for Cabal, they're offering 60m for Koopmeiners, 30m for Nico Gonzalez. Juve definitely have money to spend. They just don't have enough money to make a complete squad overhaul like Motta wanted.
They've made a ton of sales, with more to come.can anyone explain why Juve have that much money to spend? How is this compatible with FFP?

You know how these Spanish managers are. Live or die playing "beautiful" football.Fabregas really doesn't have the quality in that team to build up from defense. Whats the point if your strikers are Belotti and Cutrone anyway.
Just give the fucking long ball to Belloti and hope for the best
Como is making Juve look way better than what they are
